    Default Encyclia Ionophlebia (Seven Spikes).

    A more subtle beauty I think. Last year (first year blooming), three flowers total. This year seven spikes and several new growths. A tough, easy to grow orchid I believe.

    Fragrance was my first thought too. To the best of my knowledge, the cockshells generally are. Impressive root mass there!
