Crucifix Orchids
Epidendrum radicans
Genus:Epidendrum
Species:
E. radicans
Perhaps the most diagnostic characteristic of E. radicans is its tendency to sprout roots all along the length of the stem; most other crucifix orchids only produce roots near the base. Additionally, E. radicans flowers are resupinate, unlike the members of the Epidendrum secundum complex, E. fulgens, and many other crucifix orchids. E. radicans also differs from E. secundum by bearing no nectar in the flower.For more flowers please go to http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/

Yours are so lovely, mine are in the shadehouse and still refuse to flower. They do not appreciate the cold at all!
At least I can virtually enjoy yours.
