Got this one at the same time as my new Dancing Lady for .50 also.

It was a little rougher shape with some root rot due to decomposing bark mix. You could just smell it but it was the only one that wasnt a Dancing Lady so I sprung for it.

It has 6 little pbulbs that are all in great shape actually. Full and firm. It looks like it has bloomed before as well but I really cant tell. Gave it a little superthrive to see if I could spur along some good roots.

And no, its not sitting in the water. Just letting it all drain out.

I've bought the same plant at Lowes. Look up the flowers if you haven't already, there GORGEOUS!!
Theres a thread on here with flower pics somewhere.....

Yea, I'm excited to see it bloom. I've read its a spring bloomer so hopefully the roots aren't in such bad shape it doesn't.

Well, got a question about this one. Its pbulbs have just started to turn purple. I assume its from too much light? The leaves are still a bright green.

I too got this plant as a discounted rescue from Lowes. Don't worry about the purple; a lot of eplc.'s (and epc.'s in my experience) get that as they mature. As long as the leaves stay green, you're okay. By the way, mine has just put up a spike with two wimpy buds, so maybe a bloom is on the way for you too!

I hope so. It's a pretty healthy plant and I love the way it looks.

This is a Enanthleya ( Eny. ) it's parents are Cattlianthe Gold Digger x Encyclia randii.

It was registered by Hawaii Hybrids in 2006.

Ahhh thanks for that. Updated my records now.

Mine has bloomed! And in the meantime, I noticed five new buds on another spike.

Pretty! Mine had lots of root damage so no blooms for me. Where does it spike from though?
