My epidendrum collection

 It all started 2 years ago in our local farmers market.  Regular orchid vendor in the farmers market was ready to pack up for the day.  I was the last customer for the day.  I told her I wanted an orchid which wasn't a Phalaenopsis.  



She gave me an epidendrum and said "You will like this".  I didn't know anything about that plant and it didn't bloom for next 18 months, ever since then I have had several blooms and I fell in love with this orchid.  Since then I have added 8 other colors to it.








I haven't had any blooms from yellow, red and pink.

Once these flowers bloom they stay for 2 months.  They make good cut flowers too.

Partying with these good folks
