Hi Ray. I love these white cockleshell orchids. They never fail to charm me.

The currently accepted name for this particular beauty is Prosthechea baculus.

Really amazing, there are a lot of very beautiful pictures for July. If i'm the judge, it'll be very difficult to hand out the prizes.


Cheers!

Damned taxonomists!

I thought it was encyclia > prosthechea > anacheilium. I did realize they backed-off.

I don't really care; it's still a neat plant, no matter what you call it.

Can I still post photos (today) for the July contest since the site was down the past 2 or 3 days?

If I post them in July & they're not judged due to the date can they be switched into the August photos?

[fred]

Hi all
as the site was down for a few days I will close the July contest in 24 hours but I will also create the August Comp thread.
for those who want to either enter or re enter in the comp
thank you for your understanding

I don't know the current status o=f the research/publication on this. I know that Anacheilium has appeared in books. Currently though Prostechea is what accepted for the purposes of registering hybrids.

It is a neat plant. I really like all of these "cockleshells." I have yet to see one I did not like.
