Epilaelia Snow Fantasy x Encyclia alata, the 2014 blooming
This is this plant second blooming in my garden. The plant still have some way to go before it reaches full adult size. The Epilaelia Snow Fantasy is a large plant. The Encyclia parent can vary in size, I have seen both small and some impressively sized plants and I had one that would produce up to a hundred flowers in a single inflorescence. I expect this plant inflorescences to increase in size until the plant has three or four full size pseudobulbs in a row. It is not clear to me how large the pseudobulbs of this orchid will eventually get. The best thing about this plant is that the climate in my garden is very well suited to its seasonal growth pattern.
