Default Epiphronitis Veitchii

This is a cross originally made by Veitchii in 1890, more than a century ago! For that time, when the main stream was to cross large Cattleyas and Paphs, this cross involving the small Sophronitis coccinea and the tall, reed stemmed Epidendrum radicans could undoubtedly fall into the speculative category!
It is interesting to notice how dominant is the complex column-lip of the Epidendrum!

Oooh I love reds, and that's a really nice red. That lip is also stunning.

Do you have any pictures of the plant? I'd be interested to see how that turned out...
