Default Encyclia profusa

This is one of the few I know which flowers are of this bright color. My plant is still young, adult ones can give hundreds of flowers on the spike. The fragrance is absolutely wonderful!

I bought one of these as a seedling this last summer from Tropical Orchid Farm in Maui - a very nice plant, which has not yet bloomed, but is growing very well. I expect flowers next spring. I hope I get as good a result as you, Mauro - your pictures are always beautiful, and I appreciate that you share them. I have found them helpful to know what I am looking for in my own plants or as I look to buy a new one. Thanks again!

Mauro,
I bought this species earlier in the year at a local show because of the pics you've posted of this species in the past. I can't wait for flowers! This year's blooms look great!
