Default Enc. Cordigera

Got this as a NBS a few years back, last year it flowered first time last year with 8 flowers on 3 spikes, this time around 3 spikes with over 15 flowers on each multi branching spike. Intoxicating spicy fragrance.

I have an Alba form of this. Do you grow this outside?
For some reason mine likes warmer temps so I can't leave it out in the winter. I am in Hollywood so my winter temps aren't that bad.
Your plant looks beautiful. Good growing, congratulations

Hi Andrew, I live in Sunland north of Burbank, I grow this in greenhouse from April thru November, then I bring this and several other dry loving orchids and plants in house and let them go drier and dormant. If you ever want to tour my collection let me know you are not far

That is what I do with mine too. Small unheated green house in winter and then outside in summer
