Today I noticed that my Octopus Orchid ( Encyclia cochleata ) has another bloom on it. My Octopus Orchid is doing very well mounted to a piece of driftwood. I keep this Orchid in the shade most of the time but it gets a little bit of sun. I water daily to keep the moss damp. If you want to see my other pictures of my Octopus Orchid then click here. Here are the updated pictures.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Finally one of my favorite Orchids the Octopus Orchid ( Encyclia cochleata ) or the Cockleshell Orchid is blooming. I was given the Octopus Orchid from a friend of mine about 3 months ago. I mounted the Cockleshell Orchid on a nice piece of drift wood that I found at the beach a few years ago. Once I mounted this beautiful Orchid it started to show signs of growth. I thought to myself here is a happy Orchid.
The Octopus Orchid ( Encyclia cochleata ) gets its name from the Flowers shape, the lip is the body and the petals are the tentacles. This is a very interesting flower with a gorgeous color scheme. Here are some pictures of my Octopus Orchid ( Encyclia cochleata ), I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
