Epidendrum quisayanum

This rather odd plant is from Ecuador and has 10 cm cane-like growths with soft leaves.  The flowers come several at a time at the end of the growths and are only 2 cm in size, but the bright color makes up for their smallness.  The plant requires cool to cold temperatures and is from the mountain forests.  My plant is grown in sphagnum in a small basket.
