You're welcome. I'm with Apple, my "green thumb" seems to kill orchids :)

I'm not 100% on the species but my suggestion looks quite similar and is endemic to Mexico. I suggest searching for species in this genus.
Apple
Well, I tried to have one recently (was a b-day present) and I have to say that is one plant my green thumb couldn't keep alive..tried hard but no success for me. So, leave it nature...LOL.
Apple
Wow! Beautiful, Cindy is right we would pay very good money for that here.
