Can anyone identify this reed-stem Epidendrum? It was sold to me as
Epidendrum citrosmum, but researching that name on the web yielded
three different plants. It is very pleasantly daytime scented. The
flowers are small, perhaps 3/4", heavy/waxy, pure crystalline white.

It's flowers are pretty small, but their substance is unusual for a
reed-stem Epi, and they last for about a month. There are only half a
dozen flowers or so, on a spike, but it will bloom successive spikes
for a few months. The fragrance is remarkably pleasant filling the
shade house with it's perfume from only a few flowers. The plant
seems rather cold tolerant too.

It looks like it's sold-out at present:
