I first saw this at the Houston Orchid Show and was lucky enough to find a vendor with one for sale. It reminds me of little space aliens descending.
I’ve only had it a month, so I’m still relying on basic orchid care for Encyclias: keep warm, medium light. I have it potted in a glass container with clay pellets ( semi-hydro ). Most orchids require cooler weather to bloom, time will tell if this one does as well. One greenhouse claims it is a winter bloomer, which means a temperature drop will be required. Others claim it is a year round bloomer, in which case no temperature drop is required. Time will tell.
It should max out between 12″-18″ in height
It is supposed to be a scented orchid, I haven’t noticed any scent yet.
The forums claim it is a fast growing, easy to care for plant
I’ve seen it listed as a cross between cochleata x trulla and cochleatum x lancifolium
I’ll upload better photos and care tips after I have time to see how it does.
