Gongora armeniaca Male
Default Gongora armeniaca
A small Gongora species from montane forests between Nicaragua and Panama. The name refers to the yellow-orange 'apricot' colour, which is indeed very beautiful. Apricots originated from Armenia (hence the name), and it is said that these Gongoras also have a scent of apricots. Last pic is from another plant with creamy white flowers.
In case you want to read on:
Gongora armeniaca (Lindley) Rchb. f. Xenia Orch. 1: 52. 1854.
