Default Coryanthes speciosa

You can see the nectar dripping into the "bucket" from the special gland on the bloom. Neat warm growing species.
Photographed at Ecuagenera's nursery in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

It has a nice fragrance - a little weird, but I would categorize it as pleasant. It's not a super-strong fragrance, either. Fragrances are such a personal thing...

Just a technicality :: it's C. mastersiana, from Colombia and perhaps Ecuador ...
C. speciosa originates from south-western Brasil.
