Epidendrums

Welcome to our new frontier! Epidendrums make up a diverse genus of over 800 species (possibly hundreds more) in the new world tropics from North Carolina to Bolivia. According to Dr. Robert Dressler, there are 146 species found in Panama, alone! The diversity, ease of culture, free-flowering and exotic nature of Epidendrums lend themselves to the enjoyment of hobbyists and serious collectors. Woodstream Orchids made a committment to bring Epidendrum species into cultivation through seedling production and to explore the infinite combination of hybrids that may be made within the genus Epidendrum and among other relatives of the Cattleya Alliance. Many Epi species and hybrids make superb exhibition plants, ranging from large spectacular specimens to sublime miniatures. Barkerias and Encyclias are also found in this section. Check out our offerings and give Epis a try!!
