    How neat! Six budded spikes. Sounds like it's making up for lost time in a BIG Way. They look like good size blooms also. AL

    I am very impressed. I love my E. Cordigera v. purpurea. Your cross is like mine on steroids.

    I'm hoping we find some as pretty as this one, Connie on our shopping trip. Hopefully the Encyclia guy will have some great stuff

    Beautiful! The flowers are nice and large for that type of cross. Is it fragrant?

    Absolutely gorgeous! I do love Encyclias, and those blooms are definitely an improved cordigera. Congrats for getting it to bloom!

    Yes, they have a very sweet perfume-like scent. I went out yesterday to work with plants and couldn't believe how good they made the greenhouse smell.
