Encyclia cochleata/Green Hornet? and E radiata
Here we have what I bought online as Prosthecea radiata, but I reckon it is Green Hornet. Any comments? I am a bit of a rookie... Anyway it is a super little (now not so very little) plant that is a first class performer and I can smell it already as I come down the stairs of a morning. A pure delight!
Below is E radiata which has a perfection hard to show in a photo. The whole plant has a subtle silvery bloom and elegant shape... milky flowers give off a powerful, somewhat medicinal fragrance: the place smells like an upmarket doctor's surgery.
BY THE WAY! I am happy that here in this forum you guys seem to call these plants ENCYCLIA (yay!) and not "Prosthechea" (ugh!) I have my reasons.
