Eulophia andamanensis

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

This is what the plants of Eulophia andamanensis, (aka Eulophia keithii) looks like. Photos of flowers are cool, but I think it is important to know what the rest of the plant looks like too.

I decided to post this just to show people what the bulbs look like and why it is a plant that should be posted in the Cymbidium forum. As you all can probably see, the bulbs look like mini Cymbidium bulbs.

Orchid taxonomists put Eulophia in the Cymbidium Tribe.

These are pretty tough and hardy. They withstood tons of neglect from me for the past few years while I was in school. I decided to treat it nice this year.

I don't remember if it bloomed this year or not, but somehow I keep thinking it did. I've had these since 2004, 2005, or 2006 - not sure which of these three years it was.

When I got it, it was just a one bulb division.

If anybody is wondering how I grow this species, I also posted a photo of how they should be potted. The potting media is just straight up top soil.
