Ok great. There are many spottings of orchids on Noah but not many of them are from the wild. I'm glad to see you add more from their natural habitat.

You are right, It looks similar to Lycaste , By the way I will add a Lycaste.

Cool. I've never heard of this genus before. It looks similar to Lycaste.
