Hi Jose, Peristeria elata is the national flower of Panama and this picture is from an exotic orchid (coming from Asia). Despite they are but white orchids, P. elata is very different http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peristeria_elata_Orchi_11.jpg

You're right Alex. Juan has the correct ID, it's not Peristeria elata.
