It seems to be the blooming season for the epidendrums. Here are a couple of compact plants (about 12 inches tall) in bloom. Both plants were obtained last year from Kodama Orchid Nursery in Waianae. They are grown in New Zealand Sphagnum Moss under 60% shade cloth. The orange flowers are Epi. Moon Valley and the rosey pink flowers are Epi. Lovely Valley. Both crosses were made by a breeder in Japan.
