Encyclias range in size from small to huge, so everyone - from windowsill growers to those with back yards in Florida - can find species and hybrids to fit their space.

The word "encyclia" means encircled, and refers to the fact that the lateral lobes of the lip encircle the column, which houses the flower's reproductive mechanism.
