I have a large and healthy Encyclia cordigera that I've had for about 5 years. He has lots of new root growth, and new bulbs coming up in multiple places. I am dividing him in half today (in sterile conditions, of course) and the result will be a healthy, mature, blooming size Cordigera with around 10-12 fully developed bulbs and some tiny new ones coming up.

He is a lovely plant [read my posting this morning in the Forum section on him] and will perform wonderfully for you, as he has done for me.

I'm willing to trade him for another blooming size, mature plant. I am, as always, open to suggestion, but here is what I love and would love to have:

Vanda sanderiana "alba"

Phrag (would love a multi-floral with long sepal petals)

Or, something else if you have a suggestion. I don't need any Catts, Phals, Oncidiums, or Dendrobiums. I also like larger flowers instead of minis, but, again, make an offer and we can work something out.

You can see the type here
