Reed stem Epidendrum - 2nd bloom seedling - Update
 

Reed stem Epidendrums are another of my (too many) passions. This plant bloomed first time last year, and is now blooming as a mature plant. It is fortunately fairly compact:

Epidendrum (Pacific Artist x Pacific Firefighter)

That's outstanding! And the stem next door is about to open it's ball of red fire (with some yellow dancing among it). Very nice indeed.

That color just glows!

Sweet!! Kim you would love it down in the Redlands...the guys and gals down there make so many little crosses of these plants. No names, just described by traits; color, size, frequency of bloom etc.

I have a bunch all over the house. I’ll get some pics.

How big are these flowers? They look quite a bit bigger than the usual?

I didn't measure. I want to say near to 1.1/2" NS.

forgive me, Kim, what does the "NS" refer to

Kim, SO compact! Beautiful! Selling these yet? I can see the high light impact on the leaves. Great job.

@DirtyCoconuts

NS = Natural Spread = horizontal width.
VNS = Vertical Natural Spread

AOS judges normally record the dimensions in mm. Here I am using inches (1" = 25.4 mm).

@Dollythehun

This group of plants (purchased in September 2018) have not started to produce keikis yet. A couple of them have grown to the point that I am getting 3 or 4 flower heads this year. I might be able to make a few divisions next year.

ahh, thank you so much, Kim!

here are my front yard Epi radicans..I'll take some shots of the yellow dwarf later as they are just opening
