Encyclia bractescens in bloom (mounted)

[SimJam]

oooh I bought a similar looking encyclia at an orchid show last sunday.


Encyclia cordigera 'Venezuela' x Encyclia cordiger 'Caracas'

It smells like Jasmine but only when the sun hits it

Yeah, honestly, I have about 10 mounted orchids, and do often feel like a slave to them At least this one (and a couple others) that were outdoors in warmer weather, were stuck in clay pots when I brought them inside (no where to hang them inside), which allowed me to reduce watering a bit (every other day as opposed to every day)

Nice!

I'll have to try checking mine when it's getting sun!
