Thanks for the ID you two. I'll post my spotting of them now that I know what they are.
Thank you much, it is not a man made hybrid, it grows in the wild.
OK, Jessica, I am not really experienced with flora, but I have quite good eyes. Looking at this one without your ID, I probably had suggested Prosthechea fragrans as an ID with the following links: http://sura.ots.ac.cr/local/florula4/find_sp3.php?key_species_code=LS000485&key_kingdom=&key_phylum=&key_class=&key_order=&key_family=&key_genus=&specie_name=fragrans http://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/Encyclia_fragrans.htm http://maqui.ucdavis.edu/Images/Orchids/prosthechea_fragrans.html http://www.orchidsonline.com.au/node/3029 So, do not be too shy, I think you are correct. And if you are not 100% sure you might add Prosthechea cf. fragrans or Prosthechea sp. as ID, specially if there is the possibility for plant breed or hybrids.
hello Sigg, I want to believe it is Prosthechea fragrans but i dont want to put it up there and it is wrong. I was hoping someone would have ID it by now.
We have a species of orchid really similar to this here in Costa Rica. Haven't ID'd it yet, maybe someone will know at least what genus this one is.
