Encyclia Phoenicea

[espranch]

Actually, to my thinking, the two encyclias look very much alike. Lip on the phoenicea is more pink than rose. Sepals are also a rusty/rose hue. The one thing I DO like is the CHOCOLATE fragrance that the enc. phoenicea has...Betty

You only have to be shut up in a car for three hours on a sunny day to remember cordigera forever.

Sounds a bit like the Zygos lol

Gabriella, it is a beauty, but i cannot add my opinion, as i have never grown either of the two species before!

Bravo, Michael - you made me laugh!

I would, however, rather be locked up in a hot car with an E. cordigera for 3 DAYS rather than with this for three minutes.

Saw, and smelled this Bulbophyllum at the Orchid Conservatory yesterday. I know you'll know the taxonomy - I call it Bulbophyllum stinkyum - ughhhhhh! (But such a pretty bloom!)
