Hello everyone,

I purchased a plant labeled as "Epidendrum lepifolium" from the
collection of the Herrenhausen botanical Garden here in Hannover,
Germany. I can't seem to find that name anywhere.

The pseudobulbs are about 8 cm (~3") long, and accoridng to someone
who bought one too, the blooms smell like honey around mid-day (I
haven't been able to catch it yet ), and they don't open
completely. I hope someone around here can identify the plant .

Here are some pictures:
