Epc. Melon Surprise
Epc. Melon Surprise (Epi. pseudepidendrum x C. Cherry Chip) was indeed a surprise. The first clone was similar to the one shown here except that the lip had a hint of pink which developed as the flower ‘ripened'. The fragrance is divine. This grex blooms repeatedly from the same inflorescence and flowers 2-3 times a year. Flowers measure 7.5 cm wide. Only one clone has produced the magenta column effect for which I was hoping.
