I found this pretty orchid in anothers member's gallery, but am not sure specifically what it is...? Any ideas?

You can find the orchid in question HERE.

It looks like an Epidendrum pseudepidendrum. They're spectacular flowers, and easy to grow.

That appears to be Epicattleya Rene Marquez 'Flamethrower'. It is a pseudoepidendrum hybrid.

That's my Epc Rene Marques 'Tyler'

Laura is one of my best friends and she's kind enough to take photos when she visits

Wow, Laura has some great pics of your 'chids.

And your dogs are sooo cute! I found some in her gallery of one of them swimming in the pool. They look wonderful

Thanks Rosie...Laura does have a really good eye

She's taken some exceptionally great photos of Samantha and Lucas...I have some of them framed

Thanks again to Laura

Thanks for the name info, Suzanne, that is really a lovely orchid. Going onto my must have list... Is it a hard cultivator to find, do you know...?

I don't think it would be hard to find. The person I got mine from isn't around at the moment

I hear thunder...LOUD thunder...so I have to shut down but tomorrow I will post some suggestions unless somebody beats me to it

I just bought one of these last night off the OB classifieds. I'm very excited to get it

Good for you, Narnia...! I am envious..! I have been growing Catts for 8+ years, and I have never seen this, or a color combination quite like it. It's really striking and really jumped out at me...! The Epi-Catts are very popular here in Southern California, as you can grow them outdoors year round and they love high (direct) sunlight, but I've never seen one this colorful and bright...!
