Neat.

Love it.

Very cool!

Thanks, if only it was fragrant too… but it's not. :(

Colombia, Choco state.

Gotta love seeing the little "dragons" in flight! One of my favorite Gongora ... the only downside, as you mentioned, is the lack of fragrance in this species.

This is quite interesting. I must put this on the list.....

Great looking flower! I wonder if a mod could move this thread to the Stanhopea section? :bowing

On my forthcoming fragrant orchids list to end them all, I've hd entries with chocoensis being fragrant. Either it's a mistake, or this line from La Canopée in France is the exception. From all the other owners of this plant coming from them, none is fragrant.

This species does not have a fragrance. :)

Thanks, you lift a doubt.
