Epidendrum anisatum
I'm having a difficult time finding healthy Epidendrum anisatum plants. The first on I purchased from Woodstream was a little puny, developed a scale infestation, and is on its last legs. So I ordered one from Countryside. Bill shipped two mostly dead plants in place of the one I had ordered hoping that doubling the quantity would make up for the mostly dead quality plants I received. If I were him, I'd have been happy to get these out of my greenhouse too. I'm going to order from The Orchid Connection next, however they're sold out at this time. What is the trick to growing this species? Is anyone able to provide contact information for a vendor with good Epidendrum anisatum plants? There are pictures he http://www.woodstreamorchids.com/epianis1.html http://www.orchidconnection.com/epi_anisatum.htm http://www.orchidspecies.com/orphotdir/epianisatum.jpg Unfortunately, the pictures in the first two links do not match the one in the last link. Which is correct? Does anyone grow this species successfully? Help! |

I'm going to order from The Orchid Connection next, however they're sold out at this time. What is the trick to growing this species? I found it in an inventory of Bolivian orchids (but only a citation, not the full description - La Llave & Lex.). But the only information I have is that it grows in Bolivia. Along with a few hundred other epidendrum species (most of which have habitat information). See http://www.senckenberg.uni-frankfurt.de/odes/03-04.pdf Jay's orchidspecies.com lists it as from Mexico at 2300m. That would indicate intermediate temperatures, maybe on the cool side, I think. Since Bolivia and Mexico are fairly far apart, this is either a pretty adaptable species or somebody is confused. Or both... I'd bet if you got a big enough plant to start with that it would grow just fine. It looks cute though. Just from looking at it, it looks closely allied to a plant I have labelled Epi. diffusum. Mine doesn't even remotely match the picture that Jay has though... So who knows what mine is. If E. anisatum is related, then mine grows great at dead on intermediate temperatures, medium (Paph) light, and a fairly moist potting mix. It is right in with my bigger paphs, and gets treated identically. Don't know if that helps or not. Is anyone able to provide contact information for a vendor with good Epidendrum anisatum plants? Can't help you there, but if you find a good vendor, let us know. The name indicates that it smells like licorice, which would be a nice addition to my basement. Rob -- Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a. See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase more orchids, obtain more credit |

I'd bet if you got a big enough plant to start with that it would grow just fine. That's what I'm thinking too. Actually, Woodstream's plant was large enough to survive, but the insect infestation seems to have taken its toll. I'd order another from Woodstream, but they're out of stock at this time too. It looks cute though. Just from looking at it, it looks closely allied to a plant I have labelled Epi. diffusum. Mine doesn't even remotely match the picture that Jay has though...

Rob The fragrance is what I'm after too. I'd like to see if I can introduce it into the reed-stem Epidendrums I'm attempting to breed. Thanks for your thoughtful reply, and I'll post the source if I find one. |

Epidendrum anisatum
Larry,
If you ignore color and look at the structure of the lip, they all three appear to my eyes to be the same species. They have the same three-lobed lip, where the middle, downward pointing lobe has three parallel "hills" running down them. Anyone with more botanical training taken a look at this? -Eric in SF "Larry Dighera" wrote in message ... I'm having a difficult time finding healthy Epidendrum anisatum plants.

Have you a clue where I might purchase a decent plant? I mentioned Epidendrum anisatum to George Norris, but his failure to comment on it leads me to believe, that his suppliers don't have any. -Eric in SF "Larry Dighera" wrote in message .. .

Larry, You could try Sandro Cusi of Orquideas Rio Verde (In my opinion, he is the "Andy" of Mexico) Unfortunately his website is down but you could give him a ring, info here http://www.orchids.org/donors/donors/33.htm Of course his plants are bare root but he is always at our shows & brings special orders.

The AT&T international operator says I need 10 numbers after the '52.' Apparently that change went into effect about 2 years ago. Have you got any ideas on how I might reach them? |
