Stanhopea "guttulata" (not!)

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.

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!

Hi Steve!

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....

Good point! I didnt even notice the lack of eye-spots. I guess we will never know.
