Comments: This is a relatively small plant, reaching about 7" in overall height, and having an inflorescence of about 20" carrying approximately a dozen or more 3 cm flowers. Encyclia dickensoniana is a small epiphyte native from Mexico to Nicaragua in dry oak forests and semideciduous tropical forests at altitudes from 100m to 1300m, making it a hot to intermediate grower. It is easily identified by being the only species of encyclia in Central America in which the mahogany-red petals and sepals are shiny as if lacquered.
Donor's culture notes: Temperature range W (70-90°F). Grows easily in good light, let dry between waterings, and allow for drier rest during the winter.
Unique ID: MC2298
(this will not change even if any part of the name should change)
