My Tiny Garden - Epidendrum Ibaguense orchid

A year ago I received a keiki (a small shoot of any orchid is called a Keiki) of this orchid. Normally when you get one it takes up to few years until it is mature enough to bloom. To my big surprise it bloomed for me already this year only after one year of growing!

It was so nice to see the spike growing up... and up and tiny buds forming in the end. The whole plant is maybe a meter tall at this point and hardly fits on my window sill. And it is so beautiful!

Look at the shape of those flowers. They are not bigger that 5 euro coin, but the intensive colour and the shape is so striking! It looks like some evil creature with wings...

As I am writing this post it has already done blooming and now it is growing more canes, so next year the show will be even better!

Do you grow orchids?
Is there any type you like the most?
