Epidendrum escobarianum is from Ecuador and is related to the big floral Cattleyas rather than the Masdevallias I so often post. The plant is attractive not only for its unusual flowers but for its beautiful foliage, seen here.

I have been away since Monday and this is the first opportunity I've had even to access the Internet, so I am way behind in commenting. Will catch everyone up with comments and awards when I am home again later in the week.
