Thanks for the ID you two. I'll post my spotting of them now that I know what they are.

Thank you much, it is not a man made hybrid, it grows in the wild.

OK, Jessica, I am not really experienced with flora, but I have quite good eyes. Looking at this one without your ID, I probably had suggested Prosthechea fragrans as an ID with the following links:

So, do not be too shy, I think you are correct. And if you are not 100% sure you might add Prosthechea cf. fragrans or Prosthechea sp. as ID, specially if there is the possibility for plant breed or hybrids.

hello Sigg, I want to believe it is Prosthechea fragrans but i dont want to put it up there and it is wrong. I was hoping someone would have ID it by now.

We have a species of orchid really similar to this here in Costa Rica. Haven't ID'd it yet, maybe someone will know at least what genus this one is.
