Epigeneium nakaharaei

Epigeneium nakaharaei is from Taiwan and is closely related to Dendrobium.  In fact, it was once classified as a Dendrobium.  The growths are 3-4 cm and the flowers 2.5 cm with a glossy brown lip.  It quickly forms a large clump and scrambles all over and for that reason is best grown on a mount.  It blooms in the autumn.

      Isn't the color combination interesting? And that shiny brown lip must be unique among orchids.

    Excellent contrasting color of the entire plant! Yellow from the flowers, white from the roots, green from the leaves and the brown from the psuedobulbs.
    It reminds me of a Haystack or another Monet. Well done.

      Thanks, Chad. Actually wasn't that happy with the way the photos turned out, but appreciate your kind comments.
