I would say yes, the leaves look it to me, but I don't know exactly what it is.

It appears to be an orchid but location, etc., would help a great deal in suggesting at least a possible id. Is it in the USA or elsewhere? If in the US is it in Florida? Would assume it is since epiphytic orchids are quite rare outside the state.

Definitely an Epidendrum (Epi. for short). Not sure which species.
Epi. nocturnum is also found in FL.

epi conopseum is pretty small. I thougt noctounrum, as soon as i saw it, but without bloms, that's a shot in the dark.

An orchid for sure. It does look about right for Epi. nocturnum, but I think there are a couple other possibilities. We probably can't be precise without a picture with flowers.
