Enc. Tampensis
Back when I first began collecting orchids, I discovered a species native to our area. The Encyclia Tampensis or Butterfly Orchid is native to Florida, south of Orlando (as well as Cuba, and the Bahamas). I will end up mounting these on a local tree eventually. First though, I think I will grow them mounted and get them a little larger so they'll have a better chance of surviving. First some small ones, next a flask!
I got a great deal so I got 3....
One has a nice new growth...
One even has a tiny thing that looks like a flower spike...but it may just be another leaf growing. Time will tell....
