Both of these are from Ecuagenera, picked up at the Portland orchid show last April. The one on the left is the small form, and the the one on the right is the big form.
The big form has five flowers!
And the small form has seven!
These are growing right next to each other on the same windowsill, so they get the same light and temperature. The only cultural difference is the pot size, but I've noticed that they dry out at about the same rate because the big one has more root mass. I'm glad they're both blooming at the same time so I can show a good comparison.
The small form, unsurprisingly, has a smaller overall plant form in both leaf size and height. However, on this blooming anyway, the small form has slightly larger flowers that are much more yellow. They are both scented quite strongly, especially in the sun, and I can't tell any difference in scent.
They are both beautiful.
