Encyleyvola Grapelade - | BS Without flowers

Encyleyvola Grapelade is a hybrid orchid, As the name goes, produces lovely purple-grape coloured flowers. Encyclia hybrids are easy to bloom. The markings and deep colour comes from the parent Cattleya schilleriana. The slender star shaped petals are similar to one of the ancestors-Br. nodosa. Enclyclia orchids normally produce nice long spikes with an abundance of flowers, However, we have received this one for the first time so we are not sure about the spike height & count of flowers per spike. Grow them like the warm growing Cattleya orchids. The leaves have hints of purple coloured markings which must have come due to the deep colour of the flowers.
