I got this about a year ago and It surprised me a few a weeks ago with a spike on it!!!!!! WOOT!! Another spike is coming out of an old growth as well!! There are so many things spiking now. It is really exciting!:bigg rin:: biggrin:

Hi,

Congrats on the spikes. Beautiful colour - really vibrant. What is the name of this epi?

Great bloom! Amazing color.

How big is the bloom? It's hard to tell from the close up.

Thanks!

The color is just amazing!!

[isdaojon]

Thank you to all!

Paula: I am not sure, i got it at sheridan nurseries. I had someone tell me it was prbably a Epidendrum radicans hybrid.

jropad: The bloom is only about 2 cm long

Looks very similar in shape to my Epid. ibaguense- you can see it on my thread in this section. Got 18 buds open- due for another photo shoot!
Lovely flower- they're stunning when the spike is in full bloom. And such tough plants! Great job.

This may help -- from the Paramount Orchids site:

Epid radicans has roots growing along the upright stem whereas epid ibaguense does not.

yUP actually mine has some roots growing along the stem......but I am pretty sure that it is a hybrid and not a species
