My alba Epidendrum secundum has shoots everywhere topped with clusters of bloom right now.

And my older plant of Slc. Patricia Taaffe 'Neptune' (Cattleya loddigesii x Sl. Orpetii) opened 2 nice blooms. I played a bit around with my lenses to get the pinkish red shade correctly. It comes close, at least the way it looks in bright daylight.
This plant needs absolutely fullest exposure to bright sunshine or the growth will be floppy and unsightly.
