Identifying a Trailing Orchid with Tiny Orange-Red Flowers

Description Match

Long trailing stems with white papery sheaths, paired leaves every 2–3 inches, tiny (0.25") orange-red flowers in clusters at leaf nodes, fragrant? No scent. Grown in hanging basket under oak in Florida.

Likely ID: Epidendrum embreei

Matches all traits except the papery stem coating. Epidendrum species often have reed-like stems with sheaths.

Next Step

Send a photo (private question) for confirmation. Orchid ID from description alone is unreliable—hundreds of species.
