Default Dracula nycterina

Large flowers on this species! Once it gets specimen size it keeps giving flowers after flowers for months. This has been in flower since last October and has formed at least four pods. Weird pods in appearance, by the way (one of them can be seen by the flowers) just to make justice to the also weird aspect of the flowers!!!
I have been growing this one for more than 5 years in intermediate temps (but with hot summers, as is the case here) without any trouble.
