A mini reed stem Epidendrum

[neo-guy]

This is a hybrid cross of Epi. Big Red x Epi. porpax!

It comes out like a miniature reed stem with brick red flowers. The flowers get some nice substance from Epi. porpax. Very unusual hybrid...

Cute - porpax is adorable - this is not what I expected, very nice!

With those parents I'm really curious as to how tall it is?

 

[Greenpaph]

Interesting cross! Thanks for sharing!

 

[neo-guy]

So far it is 6" tall, growing in a 3" pot.

That's great and the color is cool also. Does it like a lot of light like the reed stem parent?

 

[neo-guy]

Not sure as i just got it from a friend. I suppose it needs average Cattleya light.

Now that is a hybrid I'd love to get my hands on - WOW! You have some beautiful stuff Peter.

Thanks! I do try and collect some of the more unusual species and hybrids out there. The novelties like this one are always so cool!
