Sievekingia suavis
Looking like a miniature copy of a Stanhopea, Sievekingia suavis is probably the most common Sievekingia in cultivation. Plants like to grow in small pots under fairly bright indirect light in evenly warm to hot conditions without a decided rest period. They flower several times year round with short lived (3-5 days) bright yellow flowers.
Suavis is Latin for sweet. But be aware: This is for your eyes only, not for your nose. Because the medium intense smell is just like old Lyoner sausage that turned sour.
So I let the plant in the greenhouse and do not want to have my morning coffee beside it.
