Anacheilium cochleatum

This is a continuous bloomer. Has two pbulbs. I can't imagine how it will perform with more pbulbs.
This is an excellent example of a non resupinate orchid. That is, most orchids twist around 180 degrees before blooming, so they are anatomically upside down. This is one of those that is "correct" in anatomy (this one must have read the book on plant morphology), with the lip on the dorsal side. |
Awesome chid!! Picked up one myself back in late november in bloom. Now 3 months later she is still throwing out new buds!! Has three open now and another one the way.

OOPS my wishlist just got longer:rofl:
is this orchid also occasionally called Encyclia cochleata? or do they just look really similar? |
Yep also called Encyclia cochleata and more recently Prothechea cochleata
|
They are synonyms. The thing about scietific names, is that even though there is only 1 valid name, its hard to figure which one it is, for novices like me that is. However, 1 species can have many scientific names (never officially), but only 1 plant belongs to any scientific name. Unlike common names which can belong to many different species.

:shock: taxonomists need to get their act togather! I thought this system was to make things easier not harder:rofl:
thanks so much. between these three names i should be able to track one down;) |

:) Ya know Tin, I just love this one. Is yours scented aswell?
I'll always find a space in my grow area. Fast growers, wonderful bloomers. Seems they're always doing something. The bulbs don't even get fully matured for these too bloom. Mine just finished up a couple of days ago ... BTW - Tin is right on the current name. |
Thanks Lagoon. Yes, mine is heavily scented, and has quickly become a favorite in the lab.
|
Nice one, Tindo! I like the type, but also the alba variety, which is not easy to find here now.
|
Thanks Rosim, I have never seen the alba type. It must be nice as you say.
