How to grow: Prosthechea prismatocarpa

This week Plant Lovers a BEAUTIFUL orchid that has burst into bloom with the most stunning flower! The accepted name by Kew is Prosthechea prismatocarpa but I bought it as Panarica prismatocarpa and it's also known as Encyclia prismatocarpa!! One of those orchids that jumps from group to group depending upon which way the nomenclature wind is blowing! The orchid is a native of Costa Rica and Panama but at quite high altitudes which is why it seems to LOVE my Melbourne climate - like many other high altitude orchids from around the world that thrive for me. I grow this outside undercover all year so it deals with my winter night time minimums. As I mention in the video, I bought this at a fundraising evening for the Orchid Species Society of Victoria which you can find out more about here:   / ossv.inc  
Yet another great reason to find a local orchid group near and join!
