unknown orchid, possibly a zygopetalum hybrid?

I've never been to SBOE but heard it's wonderful. What a great plant to leave with Stan. tigrina is a favorite. Wait until you get a whiff of the fragrance! Overwhelming! (We're not called orchhidoholics for nothing!)
You'll hear all sorts of 'old orchid-wives' tales as you get into the hobby. The one I like best about Stanhopea is that it blooms from the bottom of the basket because the beautiful flowers don't want to be seen next to relatively unattractive leaves.

Enjoy!
