Eulophia Graminea from my yard - Orchid Board

Gage · #1 06-27-2011, 11:17 AM

Just potted this up. I had noticed the pseudobulb outside my front door, but didn't know it was an orchid until it shot this spike up! Thank you, King, for ID. Now here it is in full bloom.

Blooms are about 3/8 inch wide, and the spike is about 2 1/2 feet tall. (Apparently it's considered invasive, so I won't be letting it go to seed.) Please excuse picture quality from my phone.

p.s Moderator, would you please move this to Cymbidium alliance? My bad.
