Euchile citrina

[Stone]

I got a flask of this about 10 or so years ago and managed to raise 7 plants. My last 2 are mounted together here. Yesterday I crossed them so they have come full circle:clap: They smell very nice too!

Very nice! I've always enjoyed this species. I'll give it a try when I get a greenhouse.

Wonderful! One of my favorite orchid fragrances. I'm glad you crossed them, this species deserves to be cultivated more widely IMO.

Zack, you might be able to grow this where you are, just put it out for the winter and bring it in during the heat of summer...

 

[Stone]

Yes goods, I think you could hang it under an oak tree in Louisiana. Keep it quite dry in winter and shaded in summer. They really enjoy being outdoors.

I love these plants...real easy to grow also. I don't think they grow well potted, but thrive on mounts. I let it get some sun, but not as much as most catts or encyclias. Indoors in my cool room for winter, outdoors in summer. Frequently ignored, which I think is probably to its benefit.

lovely flower and well grown

Thank Nat and Stone! A local grower has been very successful with Enc. mariae in his greenhouse, so I think I'll give this one a try.

Nat, I still have you Dyakias too btw. This semester has been super busy, so I haven't been around much. I'll send you a PM when I'm home for Christmas.
