Unknown Orchid

[Jeffery]

As I stated in my intro, this is the orchid that I don't know what it is, there was no identifier tag on it, so here it is.

[Claire25]

My guess is an Epicattleya of some sort. Cool leaves.

[Paul]

It's some type of reed stem Epidendrum.

I strongly believe that it is a reed stem Epidendrum.

I emailed the individual that I bought the other 3 catts from, hopefully he keeps records so he can inform me of what I have, next time I will do a better job myself at keeping records...

Mislabeling happens. It's The Home Depot. Orchids aren't their specialty.
