Stanhopea connata
Pics using the cellphone (bad macros!). The Stan connata has this name 'cause it is the only Stan with the column "glued" (connata) to the hipochile (red arrow in the last photo). The spike is about 30cm long, more or less the same length of leaves. The perfume of flowers is very intense and delicious, sweet, with a touch of something chemical or plastic. Probably the last Stan of the season, it's getting cold here! Stan connata came from the eastern slopes of the Andes (Peru, Ecuador and Colombia), and grows in medium/high altitudes (1100 to 1700m)
