Prostheca chimborazoensis
Went to the New York Botanical Gardens today and found this one in full bloom. Gorgeous white with white and blue stipped labelums. I think I even detected a strong fragrance from this one.

We have one of this specie that is specimen size and is growing on a tree just like this one. The blooms on ours are lemony green colour.  |
