Default prosthechea cochleata

its cochleante season for us here how about yous'e?



heres mine after 2 years. Im finally getting some nice big flowers...These dont smell like feet this time either. Sometime they stinky and will actually burn your nose if you get a strong whiff.

notice how the pollinia seem to glow inside the hood. All the veins lead the beee to the sweet spot. Like bug road signs.

Nice. It is Encyclia cochleata (voluted E.) and has nothing to do with the Genus Cochleanthes.
