Check out my new Epi!!! :) :) :)

[Gage]

They had a ton of these at Lowe's for $5.98! What a deal, right?! I'm not too familiar with all of the various Epi's, so unless someone wants to chime in with a name this one's a NoID. Epidendrum redicans? I bought it as a landscaping choice, not so much as an addition to my collection, but it doesn't hurt that it just happens to be an orchid. Anyhow, it's about 8" high before the spikes, and about 12" wide. It has 6 more spikes developing besides the one with blooms opened. Orange is one of my favorite colors, if not my favorite color, so I decided to get it. I have it planted in a sandy bed that gets full sun for a lot of the day during the summer, and in the winter it gets only morning and late afternoon sun with very bright indirect light through midday. It will get hit with the sprinklers 3 or 4 days a week. Any advice is welcome! Thanks for looking!

Can anyone tell me if this is Epi radicans?

[gnathaniel]

The flower is similar, but I'm inclined to say no because the growth habit is so compact. Every confirmed radicans I've seen has a bigger, untidier growth habit than yours.

Wow, I want to live in florida! Sorry I can't tell you anything about it. I just think it would be cool to have orchids in my yard.

Matt, there are cyps that can be grown outside here in WI, there has to be something that will grow in your yard there.
