I love the funny face. It looks like someone made it up ;-) Good find.

Thanks Luis, Tiz and ceherzog. You're right, that last picture wasn't an accident. I've removed it and added a few more of the whole plant and plus one of a close up of the 'face', just for fun. I'm not 100% sure it is an Epidendrum. What do you think?

Dan, does the last picture belong with the first 3. They don't look like the same thing...what a cute little pixie face. Maybe not an epidendrum.
