:hello I came accross this (what i believe to be) orchid that was in my Grandma's garden and it seems to be doing just fine considering she didn't know how to care for it (she is the sweetest!), I noticed what could be a couple keikis that I'd like to pot separately, please advise on the species so I can provide proper care, thank you :D

I believe it's Epidendrum Radicans or a hybrid of it. This type of orchid is refered to as a reed orchid.

My first guess was an epidendrum, too .. a reed-stem

It's beautiful! And it grows outside?

Actually, that is an Epidendrum schomburgkii...and yes it does grow outside.Here in Hawaii they are usually found in ditches and along the sides of roads.If you want to pot it up use a mixture of soil and blue rock.Make sure it has good drainage and is kept moist.:goodluck:

Looks like Epi Joseph Lii to me - and that is why I never rely on ID's from a photo.

Thank you OrchidPrincess and I'm sorry Ray, that is the only pic I have to rely on :D

I was thinking about mounting it on another live plant I have, I thought it would look neat :)

I think the closest you are going to get to identifying this is a reed stem Epidendrum hybrid of some sort. Enjoy. I have one and it grows like a week, currently in bloom.
