I won an out-of-flower orchid. The hand-written tag says "epidendrum
pelleuse." I've done a Google search and looked on the AOS Web site,
and there are many hits for "Epidendrum," but none for "pelleuse" or
Epidendrum pelleuse." (Pelleuse did come up in French, but it does not
appear to be orchid related.) So, did I get something rare and
wonderful--or something that has a misspelled tag?

Whatever it is, it looks very healthy (has a big kiki-like growth), and
it will join the Catts in the sunroom, who will be wintering in a
south-facing window with additional light from an HID MH light.

Can you post a photo of the plant on ABPO?

DON'T post it here, although if you can not get A.B.P.O.
we will be happy to follow a URL you post.
I can not find Epi pelleuse in Wildcatt.
Bc Pelleas is as close to the spelling as I can get.
Could you be mistaken about the Epi or could the seller?
Bc Pelleas is B nodosa and C North Star.
If you can bloom this lovely it might be discernable.
I have yet to see a B nodosa cross that did not scream I am 1/2
nodosa.
