Pegi, check this out:

Orchid (Epidendrum fulgens)

The photos of your blooms are not clear enough for me to tell if they match this but you have it in person to look at.

Boy, both of those look like a match.

Actually, the purple (pink) bloom by Paul2032 there is in the wrong place. That is a photo of Spathoglottis which has entirely different leaves than Epidendrum. I sent him a Tree mail so he will doubtless move it soon.

I went out and looked at my plant again and it is a match. I now have two more plants started. I'm really excited about this.

Lynn, I don't know how to start a new thread. You would think I would know something about all this by now.

It's as easy as posting to this thread Pegi. When you come to the Plant ID forum go to the bottom of the page.
Type in the subject: Can you ID this, or what every you would like the subject to be.
In the message box add your photo and any information you can give.

Thanks Lynn, will do.

Well, I did it, sure can make a big job out of a small one.

Isn't it fun learning new things.

Good job Pegi!

It's one of the newer hybrid Epidendrum radicans (the distance between the leaves is the 'tell' that it's one of the newer ones). Older forms have longer internode distances.

I do agree that it's probably a hybrid. I don't think it's radicans, however, as the flowers are nonresupinate. For what it's worth, my nominees are fulgens, as mentioned, or cinnabarina.

In Mexico, it's called a ditch weed, and they're all over the place. Don't bother burying the roots, just mist them.

Campanula rapunculoides is correct. I have seen it growing as a volunteer in many places.

The Lazarus thread...

This is an old 2011 thread (Lazarus, good one! ) and the plant was IDed and thread marked as 'Identified' back then.
