Encyclia Mary Motes - Full Bloom - Almost













I previously posted an up close photo of an individual bloom on this Encyclia Mary Motes.  The plant is nearly in full bloom now.  Out of 140 plus buds, around 120 are now open.  The blooms are on 4 long spikes coming out of a very small plant.  It is hard to get all of the blooms in the photo and to still see the blooms very well, but this photo gives one some idea of the size and expanse of the bloom.  This orchid has a very light, pleasant, honey fragrance -- especially early in the morning right after the sun comes up.
