Hi Kareoke: These plants do produce seeds but as with most orchids they require special handling to grow. Cuttings, on the other hand, grow easily. You would have to raise epidendrums in pots and bring them indoors in the fall as they are semi-tropical and are damaged or killed by frost. The attached image shows a typical cluster of E. radicans flowers that has been blooming for several weeks and will continue for several more. WalterT.
This epidendrum growing outdoors in my garden is somewhat different from E. radicans in that the color is prodominantly red and the flower ball is much smaller. It also does not have the crucifix standing upright in the center of the blossom. According to a description in the Sunset Western Garden Book is might be E. x obrienianum.
