When I buy an orchid, at my place I have not much to choose from, so, when I really want a certain plant, I'll take it even when the potting is wrong. I've tried to tell the vendors but it does what it takes ...
So, too, this one needed a repotting. Obviously it hat been crammed into a pot with a few chunks of charcoal, two pieces of pine bark and the rest pure peat.
The roots - lots if them!:D - looked like they had previously grown into air, so my plant is likely a cutting from an 'overgrown' big one.

Now it has got a freshly made basket. It will like it, once I can reassume watering. The weather does not help, sunny, cold and dry.

Sweet basket. What kind of wood?

Different ones. Hard ones, that can manage outside conditions without turning into mush the first four or five years.

love the basket made out of branches.

Two days after pollinia are deposited the lip first and then the whole flower turn yellowish and the petals close onto the lip.

Looking good. Greening and swelling where it should.

I'll be getting seeds of this one shortly, and your plant made me even more excited to grow this species!!

Fingers crossed!
Than, do you know by chance how long a seed pod of this Epidendrum does take to ripen? Near to a year I'd guess?
