Default Epidendrum rondoniense

This is native to the west Amazonian forest, from the sides of Rondonia. The plant can be relatively tall (three feet) with characteristically thin pseudo bulb both at the base and the top and enlarged in the middle. The leaves are all positioned at the top of the pseudo bulb. The perfume is intense and sweet like no other, lasting all day long.

wow I have never seen this one before (nor have I ever seen a branching epidendrum) Very cute - I love the spray of pink flowers and fragrance to boot!

Mauro, I am convinced I would never make it through your green house without some serious help. If the colors didn't knock me out, the aromas would probably bring on some serious head spinning! But it sure would be fun to try.
