Let's list our favorite epies and tell others why they should grow your choices. This should help Newbies and give us some nice bloom to look at.
Mor Mor for growth habit and beauty of bloom. Easy to grow.
Strictum: Easy to grow, strong growth habit, large bloom output.
Scarlet Macaw: strong plant, beautiful bloom.
Akermani; easiest to grow, huge bloom output.
Flirtation: bloom abundance.
These are my 2013 choices. bob
Beautiful pictures Orchidman! So glad to see Akermani on your list, I just won some cuttings on Ebay for
that one.
The only bloom I have ever seen in person is from a day blooming Epi that bloomed last summer.
Thank you for posting, Great idea!

Those are all so pretty Bob, I don't know how you can choose. My bud on strictum has begun to turn up, so it won't be long before it begins to open. I love the color of Mor Mor.

Bob, do you have any favorites among your orange blooming plants? I always try to add some orange...
Mom
My favorite is called Three Oranges(first shown). Other oranges or combo's follow:
Caroline(light shades of orange)
Fiesta de Flores(bright orange)
Chrissy (orange w/ lav)
Ganesha(bright orange, lav)
I have more that I haven"t bloomed yet. bob
Bob, I was looking at a 3 oranges cutting on ebay today. I might be forced to buy some cuttings. I need to wait though until I see how much I will have to overwinter inside.
Momlady, you've got to have orange!
Yeah, those are great flowers!! Thanks Bob! ibartoo, I will be getting an orange for sure!
Three oranges is gorgeous!!!
