This is Enanthleya Twilight Magic (Eny Middleburg x E alata). Not only is the bloom fantastic (IMHO), it has the loveliest fragrance of grape Kool-Aid. This cross did two things. The Middleburg reduced the length of the E alata significantly. E alata seems to have increased the fragrance and added some striking white to the bloom. Somehow the magenta brown that is sometimes found in Middleburg has come out as a true purple. It is really vibrant and the blooms are well spaced. I'm hoping for more flowers next blooming.
This is Podangis dactyloceras. It is challenging to grow if you are a chronic over waterer. Though in situ suggests it is found near waterfalls and rivers, it needs water in the early morning so that it can dry out much like Tolumnias. It wants really well draining media. The brown you see is my wayward water splashing (which earned me a whole completely ruined bloom spike). It is cute and if you treat it right it will bloom. I have another bloom spike working now. Trying to avoid spraying it with water.
