Epidendrum lacerum Lindley 1838, it is always a treat to see species from Cuba.
In Puerto Rico, the orchid market is dominated by hybrids due to their availability and relative ease of cultivation in comparison with orchid species. However there is a small number of growers that cultivate mostly species. Finding Cuban orchid species in cultivation is not common so it is always a pleasure to find one in bloom. This is a species from Cuba, it is related to Epidendrum secundum but the flowers are different and they are also oriented differently in the inflorescence.
