Encyclia cordigera pseudobulbs. The name Orchid comes from the latin orchis which means testicle. This is familiar to folks in the medical world where cryptorchid is a term that means undescended testicle and the medical term for neutering a male dog or cat is orchidectomy. This closeup of the pseudobulbs of Encyclia cordigera I think nicely illustrates how the name applies. #pseudobulbs #pseudobulb #encycliacordigera #encyclia #cordigera #CUgreenhouse #botany (at CU Greenhouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2iI1IL8Ls/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
