Epidendrum magnoliae from Andy's Orchids

[Stringa]

This orchid was shipped in bud to my front door about a week ago. I really like having this orchid, because it is native to where I am from. I also bought the Mexican form. I think it has a sheath on it, but it is so small I can't tell if it is a sheath or a new leaf. It is very hard to photograph the small bloom. Andy's price for this plant was much more reasonable than anywhere else I could find one.

Thank you so much!

The flowers measures less than an inch at length and width. The plant is a clump of about 5" by 5". Why are you interested in the size of this plant? I find it very intesting that some people meausre their flowers, but I have never known why. Let me know if you would like some more exact measurements!

It looks great, definately something for the wishlist.
Could you post some more pictures with more detail of the foliage and the whole thing.

Jeff,

Yes I will. I took some pictures today, but my camera's battery ran out before I could get it posted.
