Epidendrum parkinsonianum Corytoplectus avoid direct sun to preserveA pendant epiphyte from the tropical forests of Central America, forming dramatic cascades of long, rigid, terete like leaves hanging vertically from the mount. Solitary flowers emerge along the stem, displaying extremely elongated, acuminate yellow green sepals and petals alongside a large, prominent bilobed lip with a smooth, open texture. Blooms release an intense nocturnal fragrance, making this species one of the most rewarding in any collection.
