Epidendrum ammophilum

[Rosim_in_BR]

This is native of the Rio de Janeiro coastal areas. It is of the reed stem Epi type and the plant can be reasonably tall (60-70 cm more or less). An interesting characteristic is that it can bloom several times from the same old stem! The flowers are thick, especially the lip.

Here's the spike:
