Is this a Stanhopea Florida??

[betoguerrero]

I found this Stanhopea, the leaves are very strong and rigid about 50-60cm long and the flower is beetween beige with several litle points.... the flowers are strong too and has tree or four per spike, the flowers are about 15-20cm , it has a very good scent like vanilla... The flowers don't last too much, about 2 weeks... Its beautifull isn't it???
I think it is a Stanhopea Florida but I'm not sure... i see a very similar on the orchidspecies pages but the photo in this web is pink...

Hi Beto!

I think it's Stan florida too! Take a look at Stanhopea florida Rchb. f. 1879
A single flower lasts for two weeks? It's very long lasting for a Stan flower, each flower lasts for three to four days, maximum.

Saludos!

HI

Yes i think is a Florida TOOOO....
This plant is very strong, the spike grows very slow and I think the flower last more than the others Stanhopeas that I have.... I'm living in Quito 2800m and here everything is slow... JAJAJAJAJAJA
I'm sure the flowers last minimun 10 days... and are very large...


Saludos
