Default Unknown Epi from Peru
Anyone have a notion as to identity of this species - either Encyclia or Epidendrum (can't keep them straight)
It was found in Peru along the road between Rioja and Progreso, Dept of San Martin.

I don't know for sure, but I'm betting Encyclia.

Paul - look at the foliage, I really do think that it is an Epi.

It does have the Epi. foliage, but I was going more off the size. I'm no expert on either of them, but I thought the growth size and habit looked like what I named. Again, no expert here, just guessing and would love to be wrong and learn from it!

A long lipped Epidendrum apaganoides?

Norm Cash suggested it appears to be Epidendrum orbiculatum. Attached is photo of Epi. orbiculatum 'Stoney Point"
