Thanks to Dr. Eric Hagsater I finally have a proper identification for the NOID Epi. I have been posting pics of the last few years. Late last year I sent it to the Atlanta judging center under a name I thought it may be and they wanted to award it but knew I was incorrect. If I can keep it growing well, and get it to judging in prime form, I may capture my first AOS award. Regardless I am so happy to finally have an ID. Wish I could find my pics from it this year, it had 17 spikes averaging ~70 flowers each. Given it seems to be a pretty rare plant I plan of selfing it next bloom cycle and send it to Troy Meyers for flasking.
from Dr. Hagsater: "It is Epidendrum montserratense Nir, published in Orchidaceae Antillanae in 2000 by Mark Nir, page 132."

and a little info on Montserrat, the Lower Antilles island this species is endemic to.
