This month's Orchids had a photo I thought was quite striking of epidendrum
antonense. The brief culture information there looked like it was something
I might be able to try to grow, although I don't have any epidendrums in my
smallish collection yet. I couldn't find any source to purchase this with a
simple google search. Any sugestions as to if this is commercially
available, where, and how easy or hard this might be to try to grow?
Thanks,
Chuck B.

I'm right there with you, Chuck. If it shows up, let's keep everyone
posted.

epidendrum antonenseThat is a cool flower. Maybe Andy's has it. They
carry a lot of neat stuff. Even if you don't see it listed on his web site,
it would pay to write and ask. I found a couple of very unusual things like
that a couple of years ago, and they brought them to Redland.
