Our newest hybrid! Epicattleya Redwood Sunset (Cattleya sophronitis x Epidendrum parkinsonianum). Well-established, near-blooming seedlings in 4" net pots. These plants should bloom in the next 12-18 months if they are kept happy.When hybridizing, it's rare that the resulting plant and flowers turn out the way you imagine them. Epc Redwood Sunset is exactly what we hoped for! The plant itself looks like a smaller version of Epi parkinsonianum with beautiful long (12+"), fleshy, lance-shaped, pendant blue-green leaves.The flowers have are slightly smaller than Epidendrum parkinsonianum but retain the same shape. But the color? It definitely comes from the Cattleya (Sophronitis) coccinea mom! All of the seedlings that have bloomed so far have produced orangey red flowers. Because these are seedlings and not clones, all the plants produce slightly different flowers. The biggest variable has been in the color, which ranges from orange-red to deep red. All of the plants have produced 2 flowers per spike. and they flower anytime a leaf matures, which can happen multiple times a year.These are durable plants! It needs to hung in a basket or mounted because of its pendant growth habit. They do not like to be repotted or divided and the roots like to hang in the air, similar to a Vanda.Care: Prefers cool-intermediate temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and light feeding year-round, with a short dry period in between waterings.

Epidendrum neoporpax. Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.  We love this plant! It mats into a specimen in a short time.

Care: Easy to grow in moderately bright to partial shade conditions. Like to be mounted either vertically or horizontally. Moderate water year-round.

Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. This is one of my favorite "weird" orchids! The growth habit is unusual in that it climbs, producing new pseudobulbs above the last mature pseudobulb on stiff, short rhizomes. They appear to be monopodial (they're not, they also produce new growth at the base of the plant, but most of the new growth emerges at the top of the plant). In addition to the weird growth habit, the flowers are bizarre! Many (30-50+) small, fragrant white flowers emerge from around the base of new pseudobulbs. It looks like they are exploding out of the plant, alien-style! Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
