Galeandra Greenwoodiana
I bought a Gal. Greenwoodiana from Fred Clarke, Sunset Valley Orchids this year, and it finally doubled in size and bloomed. It blasted the first buds. This is a successive bloomer, so more buds came along on the same spike. It grows on a cork mount in a semi-arid region in West Texas under an oak tree. Sun morning and late afternoon. Hot, hot summers with heavy rain in August and September. The flowers have a rose like smell. You can smell them when you put your nose right up to the flower.
