Encyclia Orchid Jungle
 

Here is the first blooms from my E. Orchid Jungle that I bought last summer. It took me a little while to appreciate them fully...but the longer I looked at them, the more I decided that this plant needs to stay in my collection. :D

I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do!

It is very nice, is the color a burgundy?

Wow, stunning pic :whew

Great colours and flower shape, I love this one :love:

Very nice. I can see why you've decided to keep it in your collection.

Thanks for your comments folks! :D

Hi Joann,
It is actually a chartruese base with chocolate brown, apically on the sepals and petals. The lip has an orange band along the frilled edge. I can see how you'd think burgundy with the way the colors come together though. :) I'm glad that you like it!

I'm glad that you decided to keep this one, it's just too beautiful to give away! (unless you were giving it to me. :biggrin:)

Nice pictures and a beautiful Enc. I have "Nursery Rhyme" in bloom now with two spikes. Guess I should take a pic. to share, but I am out of town at present. Thanks for sharing, Dave.

Hey Don...thanks! If it's still blooming when you get home, I'd love to see the pic. :nod:

Very nice David. I have one of these in my collection also. Mine is in spike, but no flowers just yet. If I remember correctly last year the flowers seemed to hang on forever!
Great job blooming yours!

Hi Dave - This one is for you. I just returned home and fortunately the Enc. "Nursery Rhyme" is still in bloom. One of my favorites. Enjoy!
