Encyclia Altissima
 

First time bloomer for me. It was gonna bloom last year but the spike broke due to a falling papaya.

Pretty Kevin, such a long spike, and typical Encyclia, they are very elegant:-) Damn, you have some issues with these falling fruits, Coconuts, Papayas, hope o more accidents like this in the future:-)

I still have the coconut problem, but the papaya is gone. :)

Love the flower and the third picture!

That's a great-looking spike, Kevin. Are the flowers fragrant?

Lovely!

I did not notice any fragrance.

That's very pretty to bad about the papaya, such a big problem, hee, hee, hee.

I have one that I'm hoping is getting towards blooming size; it's got around 10 growths and the older roots are just starting to send out new root tips, so I'm hoping for something within the next year.
