Epidendrum summerhayesii is an epiphytic orchid native to central America where it resides in cool montane forests. Among Epidendrum orchids I've seen they have unusual waxy flowers which are apparently weakly foul-scented flowers. This one only bloomed once for me as the climate I'm southern California is certainly too hot for temperate orchids even in a genus known for its durable members.

Our Crucafix Orchid never stops flowering (epidendrum radicans) it seems to be always in flower and adding colour to the garden. It has been in continuous flower since I first posted in October last year! The plant forms “offsets” (complete new plants) and once four or more roots have formed, the offset can be snapped off, potted up, and grown on without really affecting its growth. It’s from the middle elevations in Central America. Common names also include ground-rooting epidendrum, fire-star orchid, rainbow orchid, and reed-stem epidendrum. This plant is so generous and really asks for nothing. I have several different colours but am always looking for new ones. #orchid #CrucifixOrchid #EpidendrumRadicans #RainbowOrchid #centralamerican #abcmygarden #myplants #homegrown #flower #ausgarden #southamerican #hardy #longflowering (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjmsAt0rNGk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hudutu and machuca, a traditional Garifuna meal originally from Central America. It’s a soup made of fish, shrimp, and crab with mashed plantains one the side.
