Hi Fredrico - it doesn't look like wardii to me, either, but it sure is a beautiful flower. How does it smell?
I'm sure that next year you will have a hundred flowers.
Regards - Nancy

I have to agree, it doesn't look like wardii....I'm not a stanhopea expert but the color is definitely different.

I'd say Stanhopea pseudoradiosa, but I've been wrong before.

Hi Jane!
I'm not a "expert" but just a studious amateur!
I think it's not a Stan wardii, but the color is not a criterion! Stan wardii often has a 'eye-spots' in the hypochil, but I have a clone without 'eye-spots'. Wardii has the petals folded backwards. I guess it is a plant within "saccata group" (Stans radiosa, pseudoradiosa or saccata itself), but I need a side view of the flower to confirm (showing the 'bag' - sac - in hypochil).
It's very difficult to apart the three species without fresh or pickled flowers in my hands, sorry!

Jane,
The 'bag' is very clear, no doubts! Looking Dr Jenny's book, I found the following:
"[...] Stanhopea saccata [...] the gape formed by the epichile, the horns and the column is because of plication of the epichile much narrower than in Stanhopea radiosa[...]" In the pics of radiosa and pseudoradiosa the mentioned gape is larger than in your flower, so I guess your plant is a Stan saccata!
