Janice,

epc = epidendrum x cattleya. Commonly called epicat.
elc = epidendrum x laelia x cattleya.

They will flower in 3 to 4 years.

om...
just got some new seedlings. the tag says "epc laser blue chaos"
orchid. One of the other pots had "elc laser blue chaos". I know
it's a cattleya of some kind but what are the other letters that are
in there? There are 3 seedling, ranging from 1 to 3 inches. How long
will it take before they blossom?
