Encyclia-guatemalensis-2022-06-27***SITF determined this plant to be Encyclia dickinsoniana, not guatemalensis (Jul 2022); diagnosis based on depth of color and form; E. guatemalensis petals have a more upright stance and are held closer to the dorsal sepal giving the flower a more vertical appearance. The rich color and fuller petals and sepals of this flower are much closer to E. dickinsoniana than is E. guatemalensis; supporting photos include Kew's Plants of the World On-line, the OW and the IOSPE.*** Posted on June 27, 2022 Judging Center: CSNJCAward Number: 20222318Award Date: June 19, 2022Awarded As: Encyclia guatemalensissending to SITF for positive identification, because many Encyclias look so similar. thank you.
