Epc. Plicaboa 'Dancing Queen'
 

Here are a couple of photos of my Epc. Plicaboa 'Dancing Queen' (C. bowringiana x E. plicata), which just started blooming this past week.

This is the second time the plant has re-bloomed since I received it as a gift from a friend in April, 2007. The funny thing is that I never noticed how sweet its fragrance was until today...:drool: In essence, three spikes later...:dumb: I figured this one out! :rofl:

In any event, I thought I'd show you a pic of the whole plant, which is sitting in front of a 40" tall board...I didn't have enough black felt to cover the whole board, but it still gives you a good idea of how tall the spike gets. Also, I wanted to mention that it is very purple in color, which is something my camera was not able to fully pick up in the close-up shot. Enjoy! :D

David, that is super-lovely!!!

It's not so bad when they take up more vertical space than horizontal :clap:

Wow, thats a really unique, cool looking Catt. Thanks for showing this one. Ill have to keep my eyes open for this one.

Outstanding flowers and display! Very nicely done.

Beautiful! I love Encyclia hybrids! Always wanted to have this in my collection, but never found it here. I can imagine the dark hue these flowers have!! Congrats, David!

That color knocks me over and the condition of the plant looks fantastic!

Well done, great growing!:bowing

Anything Encyclia related catches my eye. This caught both eyes! Way to go!

David that's beautiful !!!!! I really like the cluster of purple flowers. LOVELY !!!!!!

Very nicely done! That color is a knockout.
