Eulophia petersii?

[Hornemadness]

YES! Thats it! thank you so much. I always hate it when i lose the tags on these things. I have actually had squirrels take them for nest building material.

I agree! saw it today at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. bloomed a coupel of months ago. long upright spikes, small flowers.
where did you find it? Does it grow well for you? where are you located?

[Hornemadness]

It'll bloom. Eulophia petersii shouldn't be that difficult to bloom.

Blooms once a year.

Cymbidium relative.

Thats good to hear. I had no idea they were a cymbidium relative, learn something new everyday.
