Encyclia Cordigera

By Biólogo. Jesús Ángel Barajas Fragoso​

From Mexico to South America, blooming between January and May makes its appearance this beauty. Encyclia from Greek έγκυκλέομαι encycleomai, girdle, to encircle, from the labellum encircling the column; cordigera from cor, cordis: heart, and from gero: to carry, from the heart- shaped labellum. 

One of the orchids benefited by the BotanicGarden Fund to reproduce in our project: “Propagation of four Encyclia native to western Mexico”. At the beginning of 2024 the first seeds were sown in the in vitro Micropropagation Laboratory. Germination was successful, so more seeds have been sown and we currently have several flasks with seedlings(baby plants) for their early transfer to the green house, thus helping their conservation.
