Encyclia Green Hornet

Encyclia Green Hornet - Flower photo by Richard LindbergEncyclia Green Hornet - Plant photo by Richard LindbergEncyclia (Encycl) contains 240 species that grow throughout all of tropical America and the West Indies. They prefer intermediate conditions and a long, dry winter rest.

A group of two backbulbs. An eye is visible. This has been renamed more than once, but I'm going to stick with Encyclia for this one. It is Encyclia cochleata x lancifolium. Fragrant, easy to grow in intermediate conditions.
