Hi Craig,
I took this picture in the wild (rain forest) and the orchid did have a pleasant smelt. To me it looks like a quinquenervis, but of course, I´m not totally sure.
Oops! Sorry, just noticed you IDed the Gongora already as quinquenervis.
Very cool Juan! Thank you.
Was the Gongora (looks like G.tigrina) in the wild or cultivated and did you notice the scent?
Que hermosa serie, Juan.
Wow. Beautiful.
