Encyclia Thomas Fennell 'Willy Wonka' x Encyclia Thomas Fennell 'Hershey'
(Both parents are pictured)
This was a very limited edition seedcross. We used two favorites from the original cross, and hope to get more like the photo. Purple and green blooms with russet shading. And as you can guess by the names, very fragrant! Both parents smell like warm, melted chocolate. So Yummy!
Growing Suggestions: Will prefer warm, bright conditions (65°-85° or warmer). Water on the leaves at night will cause unsightly spotting so we suggest lots of fresh air movement. Suitable for mount or basket culture but will do just fine in pots as well.
These plants are seedling sized and established in 2.5" pots. First blooms are expected within 12-18 months.
