I have two plants, one is called Encyclia fragrans, the other one Epidendrum
fragrans.
One flowers in spring/summer and the other one in autumn/winter, about 6 months
apart.
The flowers look the same. Each inflorescense carries 4-5 flowers. The summer

is bigger in all aspects. The bulbs are t
Even here in sunny Cape Town my plant had to grow to 2 mtrs. tall to
flower for the first time. It grows in full sun under clear polycarbon the
whole year round and flowers mostly in winter/spring. Temperature
is probably not so important, but full sun.

I'm looking for the corect name of the so called "Baby corn" orchid.
I found a good description on the internet that says: ' This prolific,
thick bulbed orchid produces neat cones of tiny, pale yellow flowers
with orange lips.' Is it Eria convallarioides or Eria spicata? Or what?

Try to grow it mounted on cork-oak. Mine is pushing down a spike right now.
I grow it under intermediate conditions here in Cape Town.

Hi Julia,
You are not the only one. They are really difficult to grow and to flower.
Try to grow them in very bright and very humid conditions. The growing
medium makes very little difference.

Hello All,
I do not think that light is the factor for keikies on P. lueddemanniana.
I'm fairly convinced that temperature is the factor. If the temperature
is above 28ยบ C. then it produces keikies instead of flowers. I have
seen on my P. lueddemannianas that all have nice flowers in winter
and spr
Hi Andy,
Are you going to Dijon, or are you saving up and go to Miami in 2008?
This could be a very unwise move, as it is 4 long years until then and
nobody can predict what is going to happen.
So, I rather go now, enjoy the medieval town of Dijon and the
Burgundian Cuisine and a Spectacular Flow

Hi All,
I had the same problems that Phal species grew poorly on any base
that I used to mount Phal species on. Now since I'm using poystyrene
blocks coated with cement (see AOS ORCHIDS January 2003 Pg 12)
my species grow like wild. It is amazing to see how the roots attach
themselves, like glued

Peter and Marie,
Yes, it has been renamed to Diaphananthe caffra.
Unfortunately ther are no cultural hints. I would assume that it schould

with more light, as it grows in montane forests.

Hi Justin,
If Vanda teres survives under the cool winter conditions, then V. coerulea
will as well.
It is definitely happier under cold conditions than warm conditions.
