Stanhopea "guttulata" (not!)
3 Attachment(s)
Reversal of expectations. This one was a (supposed) Stan guttulata, and when it blooms....a probably fake man-made hybrid! Looking well, the flowers are cute but....my disappointment was inevitable!
The mystery remains: what is she? Probably I'll never know! |

Your stanhopea looks very simular to stan. haselowiana. There is are pics. of it in Rudolf Jennys monograph on page 90, Fig 126. |
here is another pic. of stan. haselowiana

Hi Gwallogwyn,
Yes, I agree, the coloring and distribuition of the 'spoting' is similar to haselowiana. But in Stans, the color is not an important feature; the shape of the hypochile is completely different, compared to haselowiana. My plant is much more probably a man-made hybrid (Stan insignis x Stan guttulata?) |
Whatever it is... it looks amazing! Sure wish I had the space to grow things like that.

Looks great no matter what species she turns out to be!! Good growing
|
Very cool! Wardii/oculata complex x platyceras? Looks great, whatever it is!

I guess only "blind" Stans are in the parentage (eye-spots are "dominant"). Stan platyceras is a good guess! Platyceras is very similar to guttulata, although separated by thousands of miles in nature! All over spotted Stans, with no "eye-spots", are good candidates, but I'm sure Stan insignis is one of the parents... something in the smell.... |
