Help IDing epiphytic orchid in Jamaica
 
2 Attachment(s)
I just got back from a vacation in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and my resort had this one type of orchid growing on tree trunks all over the place. I think it's some type of Dendrobium—can anyone help me identify it?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a Broughtonia sanguinea or one of its hybrids but more than likely it is the species as it's native to Jamaica. :)

Looks like you nailed it, Judi! I've never even heard of this species before. No wonder I couldn't tell what it was. :)

Thank you!
