Good things come in small packages. This encyclia looks even more beautiful close up. I’m not sure on the species name as it isn’t exactly like cordigera, but perhaps a variety. This orchid is doing well in a shade house, with irrigation. Flowers persist for weeks.

I have added the Fairchild Spring Sale to the list of plant sales, May 7 and 8. Reservations are needed.

The plant sale at Mounts Botanical Garden last weekend was great with a very wide selection and very knowledgeable growers. I got some very good advice on how to grow some plants from Master Gardeners at MBG nursery and other growers.
