From Southern Brazil. 2 inch very fragrant flowers on an 8 inch plant.
This is the first blooming from a seedling received a couple of years ago. For a first blooming, I was surprised to get 2 spikes with 10 flowers and the plant still have 4 more sheaths. I’m not sure if they’re going to develop into anything, but maybe this is an indicator of what to expect in the future.

| Ooh, I like those yellow tinged petals...very neat. Haven't seen this one before either. Does it stay small |

| Calvin - Jay's site says it's a small grower, but I'm not sure what that means. It kind of looks like it might stay manageable. K |

| Is this also known as Encyclia fausta? Do you know how cold these can go in the winter? If it can take high 40's or low 50's and stays "managable" I wouldn't mind trying this one. |

| Yes, it is the same plant. There was a name change some years back. Temps? During the winter mine is usually kept in the 53-55 F range at night and only 70-72 during the day. K |
