Epidendrum "Lovely Valley" (Holy Valley x Miracle valley)
 

I just bought a new mini "epidendrobium" although I'm not sure that's really a class. There seems to be a lot of discussion of where they belong. IN any case, its a mini. Son has the really tall ones but I lack the room for those. I thought she was rather cute. it has a lot of aerial roots coming off the stalk which I'm not sure is good or not. Totally new orchid for me.Any ideas on keeping it healthy- growing on a south windowsill- now sunny-soon to be shaded by dogwood tree, so it will move to ether a east window or east glass porch when warm enough or outside once summer comes. I live in Delaware where the weather these days makes no sense at all. [IMG]http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/y...s/DSC03291.jpg[/IMG]

looks like den radicans hybrid or crucifix orchid....i will be interested in how big it gets, they usually make a tall plant...very pretty, gl

Its blooming at 6". It is su pposed to be the small variety- not exactly a mini but not "supposed" to be any taller than it is now. Flower spike is about 2" more so 8" total.

Great bloom on that!

On my part, oops... Didn't know they could get that big. Mmmmmm, do what will I do with a large one. Just bought one thinking it would stay compact. Oh well, lol...
