Love this one. The spike is like 4' and there are tons of flowers all along it, though the end is especially covered in blooms. Enjoy!!

i love it too... nice colouring mother nature!

Wow, I love that!

Awesome, Steve!

Beauty!!

I can smell it from here! :)

Beautiful, Steve! I finally found one of these here! I already had Encyclia ambigua, which is similar to this, especially in the lip, but had never found alata available! Let's see what I got when mine blooms!

Steve,
That is one beautiful alata! :yikes: I love the openness and coloration of the lip segments, and like Royal mentioned, I can almost smell it from the photos! :drool:

Thanks for your post!

Thanks guys! Ya, the scent is very sweet in the mornings. Mauro you will love this one!!

the colours are really special Steve. nice one for sure.
