Brassavola? NoID
These little guys grow profusely here on the Rio Dulce in Guatemala. Often forming extensive mats on the side of trees.
Based on the long thick leaf shape I assume it is a Brassavola. As you can see the entire bract of flowers is smaller than my thumbnail.
A close up pic of an individual attached and a pic of them in a typical natural grouping (on a mangrove tree in the river -- hint to habitat -- tropical, hot, humid, lowland...altitude is about 6ft above sea level if you are standing up in the boat!).
Any ideas?
