It's beautiful, Beto. Is this a deciduous species, or does it retain its leaves all year long? What is the fragrance like? Congratulations.

I haven't smelled it personally, but I hear that it has a heavy wintergreen fragrance.

Yes, it's a Bollea lawrenceana. One of my favorite orchids.

I still call them Bolleas. In my opinion, the flowers are different enough to warrant distinction.
