Encyclia megalantha
 

Large flowers for an Encyclia, scattered along the floral stem. I think it would be showier if the flowers were a little more crowded.

Very pretty blooms, Mauro...and I really love that extra long infloresence! :shock:

Now these are so cute! Mauro, I also like your pots! Do you buy them like that or drill holes in them yourself? :)

I buy them the way you see, Kiki, with the holes already:)!

Can you buy them in the states that way I wonder? I really like them.

I like it very, very much. My alata has its blooms arranged just like that, and I couldn't like it any other way. Is yours scented, and how big are the blooms?

Nice Encyclia! You're right about the size of the flowers compared to the plant. They look pretty big!

Another beauty, Mauro! The blooms could be a little denser, as you said, but I like it the way it is. It has sort of a rarified charm, like a clean, crisp Japanese painting or garden.

Yes, the flowers are very fragrant. They are 2" across more or less.

beautiful colours! I especially like the very different contrasting lip-Very unusual !
