this is one of 25 different species i got in Peru (some trades, some bought) during last week visit, i do not take credit for this bloom , as it was like that when i bought it in Peru. (picture is in my hotel room, with my cell phone, sadly i had to cut the spikes to fly back the plant.
the reason i bought this one, is because of the dark color, and the quite solid lip. flower size was also off the charts.
took me an hour walking to find an old men with this sitting in the very dark , shady location in a peruvian market.
Cheers!
Antonio.
