For the scent it's between cardboard and waffers :evil:

(no close up sorry, my trials ended in shame)

Very pretty colors, and I just love the shape of the flowers!

Looks good! This guy should be in the Stanhopea section though.

Last news: it may not be histrionica. Someone is investigating… :)

That's what I thought too. Maybe Gongora leucochila. Look here

R. Jenny has a broad knowledge in Gongoras. His page
SOF » Gongora leucochila
G. Gerlach from Munich is also an expert. Go to the image database or fill in leucochila.

i am not sure it is that either. but might help if you tell us how you got it where did it came from. and a picture of the plant.

Antonio.

It comes from a seller with nice plants but seemingly (no the only one with a name issue) trouble with labels. ;)

I think of leucophila too but not going into the details that really counts. I'm procrastinating the dive into my pictures to find one decent enough for the friend who can determinate it way better than I can (at the moment).

If some are wanting to play the game of determination. ;)
