Good job, Lee! Thumbs up

Janice, I have no idea what they are. The two big ones were given to me many years ago. The baby is Epi. Pacific Sunset 'strawberry cheesecake' x Sun valley 'pink petticoats' from CalOrchids. Can't locate the pic. right now.

Boo, Janice, and Carol, thanks for the compliments and I'm glad they met your expectations. I know they did mine. Too, they look better, I think, in the clay than the plastic even though the big one is a baked clay of some kind. I feel good that it has sufficient, large holes to provide a quick dry down.
Carol, please remind me again where you suggested I post pics for more diverse opinions?
Thanks and thanks to all of you or as I'd say, "Y'all'. I tip my hat to you.

I have a few Epi.'s growing in full sun and they're voratious growers. Epi.'s grown correctly will for the most part never stop blooming. Epi.'s are very adaptable when it comes to light exposure, but from what I know and have researched they can handle full sun. I'm not completly sure on the medium when it comes to specific genrea. However mine take to garden soil very well and they love water everyday or everyother works well in my zone. Train them from the start, save your self a headache later when they get too big. Pictured below is a Epidendrum Cinnabarium or a Epi. Ramosum. Both have very similar flowers.

oops... it's suppose to have red petals. RE-post, the expanded view is more accurate. I researched this suspect species from Foto.'s in "The lllustrated Encylopedia Of Orchids" edited by Alec Pridgeon and foreworded by Alasdair Morrison, Chairman of the Orchid Committee, R.H.S (Br.)
Forgive me, I missed quoted a variety. I meant Epi. Radicans..sorry.

I've just become the owner of a Odcdm. Sunlight Pacific Punch. (Odcdm - Ondonticidium)
A hybrid, I have no experience with this type, any words of advice?? Is this mountable on fir bark??
Foto's to follow and.. I will make a video of this re-potting or mounting. There's some dark brown, mushy spots on the main psuedo bulb. I treated it, keep your fingers crossed.

I have done both with this alliance. They can rot easily for me because of the daily misting-watering. Ken has good luck with Oncidiums and Odontoglossums and also Neal has a great collection. http://www.carterandholmes.com...

I only have a couple of Orchids in this group, and I planted them into the regular orchid bark mix. Since they tend to get huge, I probably would not mount them.
