Saw some orchids in my grocery store today, i have a copy of the flyer, at the bottom of page beside the tulips second picture with orange flowers. All it says is specialty orchids $24.99 Any clues to a what kind it is, doesnt need to be exact, just wondering so i can find proper care instructions before i buy it. I dont want to get it and realize I can't make it happy. Here the url for the flyer: flyers.smartcanucks.ca/canada/independent-grocer-on-flyer-march-6-to-12/single/4Thanks! Gerry

Looks like a Dendrobium maybe?

They are reed stem Epidendrum.
Easy to grow, they come in a range of warm colours, reds, yellows, oranges, ect. Keep them wetter then any care sheet tells you.

Thank you for the ID. googled orange Epidendrum reed orchid, and came up with an exact replica pic of what i bought. epidendrum secret valley "orange sugar" is what i found. Any tips
on repotting the keikis? I removed one because it was as big as the mother canes and was pulling her over. I popped the roots in some bark media. Wasnt sure if i should bury the cane at
all so right now its just the roots buried,(one root is straight down so i buried it, one is sideways so i left it on top of media as a aerial root) and its being supported with a stake. Any and
all help with keeping the keikis alive and growing them to maturity would be greatly appreciated. If all goes well, and Mom and babies make it, I will have a contest for anyone who is
interested in one of the babies.
(If i should repot the keiki or Mother differently please let me know. The mother Reeds seem to be buried quite deep)
Thanks again for all the help, Gerry
