    Default Encyclia atropurpurea

    This just opened, flowers about the size of a quarter. Sue got the other half of this division for the prize a few months back--Sue, yours should be about ready! Anyway, neat plant and blooms.....

    They're neat plants--I give them about as much light as Oncidium and they seem happy.

    Gin, you're abslutely right. It's a synonym for cordigera, and actually, I should have listed it as cordigera. Need to change that label....

    About the name of this thing: Prem caught this a while back--apparently the new name isn't Encyclia at all, it's now under Epidendrum. The right name for this plant should be Epidendrum cordigerum.

    Sorry for any confusion....

    My division should be blooming any day now. I'll post a pic here when it does. It'll be interesting to see how our different cultural conditions affect the bloom shape/color/etc.
