Florida native Epidendrum "pink [?]" what is it?

[stefpix]

I was given free with a purchase this keiki of what was described is as a Florida native Epidendrum. The label says Epidendrum Pink. Looks a bit like a reed stem one I have but the cane has some purple coloring and seems less reed - like. not just one tall cane but more branched out. It is growing nicely in SH and growing new growth also from the base. I searched for native Florida Epidendrums but just found one with green flowers.
This reminds me vaguely also of an Oerstedella but I may be wrong. It may take long before it blooms so I wonder is someone has some vague idea

thanx

I doubt it is a native orchid, but it could be that many Epidendrums are so prevalent that they are considered native. There are many, many different reed stem hybrids making it almost impossible to identify. Good luck with it!

If the flower's are indeed pink it is not a Florida Native Epidendrum. The only Native Epidendrum's in Florida are.
Epidendrum acunae
Epidendrum amphistomum
Epidendrum floridense
Epidendrum magnoliae var. magnoliae
Epidendrum magnoliae var. mexicanum
Epidendrum nocturnum
Epidendrum rigidum
Epidendrum strobiliferum
You can eliminate some of these by the leaf structure. But
You will have to wait till it flowers to find out if it is a Florida Native

Thanks. I wonder if it could be an Oerstedella as teh leaves are smallish and the stem is not too straight. reminds me vaguely of an Oerstedella.

So are there Epidendrums in FL that are naturalized in teh wild without being native?
