I spotted this in Chicaque natural park. One of four orchid species I spotted in the park. Maybe a species of Gongora?
Thanks Craig, that's what threw me off, thinking it was upside down.
You don't see many non-resupinate orchids & when you do, they always look upside down, even though they are actually the right way up!
Pretty sure it's not a Gongora. Not sure what it is though, apart from rather nice :0)
Beautiful ground orchid. Nice series Dan
