Maybe a maxilaria?
I really dont have a clue of what species it is, the plant has long pseudobulbs with no nodes in it, simpodial, with only two wide leafs at the end, flowers grow from the base of the plant

I agree. Not sure how similar other species of the genus might be, but definitely Xylobium. |

As far as I know, Xylobium plants are all similar. The difference is in the flowers (colour, pattern).
jrguevar, I have one that I think it's a variegatum and I'm not sure about what it needs. Did this one bloomed ynder your care? Under which conditions (temp, humidity, light)?
Thank you

I would tend to agree with Xylobium elongatum. Does it have a scent like melon? I know that mine does smell like fresh cut melon when in bloom.

Mztrjoe, how do you grow it?
I have one and I'm not sure how it should be treated.

Xylobium elongatum is native to Nicaragua
This Xylobium is an epiphyte usually found in forests near streams at an altitude of 1 km above sea level. It does well in medium shade. Must be shaded from mid day sun. Likes a humid environment 60-70% but does not like to be kept wet. We do have a definite rainy season June to November and a dry season. Where I live I do have to mist usually every 3 days during the dry season. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I forgot since the change is not that much here.
During the rainy season temps are mid to high 80's average during the day. Night is 70's. During the dry season day temps are high 70's to low 80's. Night can fall as low as 50 degrees but usually is 60's. All temps are Fahrenheit.
