Maxillaria who?
 

Judging by the flower form, particularly the lip, and the tight psudobulb growth, I believe this is a Maxillaria. I'm having difficulty finding the species. I've gone through the pictures on the IOSPE, but I can't place this guy.

Can you help me give this little guy his rightful name?

:biggrin:

hmm never been much of a maxillaria fan. I guess Im still not much of a maxillaria fan but thats a nicer looking one than most Ive seen. Hope you get it Id'ed ;)

Thanks RJ.

On a completely unrelated note, ironically, I know of another "Sqwirl" in Texas.

I can't see the pictures...

Sorry about that. I did a little cleaning in my photobucket and accidentally moved them :roll:

It is a Maxillaria. Are you sure it's a species?

It looks like a hybrid between Max attenuata or Max cucculata and Max pulla.

If it is a species, it looks very familiar, but I somehow can't place where I've seen this one before.

I definitely see a relation to Max pulla, though.

Maybe Max hematoglossa?

Okay, the only picture I've seen of hematoglossa from Jay's internet species shows a yellow flower?

Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Maxillaria - hematoglossa

See if it matches.

M. cucullata x meleagris, perhaps? I'm no expert, though.

Max meleagris has a pink flower variation that I believe looks like that.
IOSPE PHOTOS They have a link below the first picture.

Do you remember where it came from? That has been on my list for a little while now. The only pink thing on my list I think.
