Misc. Epidendrums & others from the greenhouse. Notable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnolia_champaca - 'Joy', the second best selling perfume in the world after Chanel No. 5, is derived in part from the essential oils of champaca flowers. The vernacular name "Joy perfume tree" comes from this.

New video release: a highlight on the Fire Star Orchid!
A fairly easy to grow, semi-terrestrial species that puts on quite a show once it decides to flower.

Epidendrum radicans is back in bloom!
Commonly called Fire Star orchid, among other names, it’s a cane-forming semi-climber that often grows terrestrially, found through much of the tropical Americas. Because it’s in bloom right now I will probably be prepping a video about it (as well as Drosera rotundifolia, Nepenthes gracilis, and a few others once I’m finished catching up from my last trip…).
