I probably spelled it wrong, but I think the species is native to Mexico. Before Redlands I made a list of all the orchids that I wanted to find, and that was one of them. I didn't find it at the show; I agree it's beautiful and that's a neat idea to find orchids named after people. I bought a dendrobium that has something similar to my name (den. amethystoglossum 'Pauwela'), and I thought that was pretty cool.

Pecteilis Susannae (which I found is now known as a Habenaria). Actually, the problem is that they usually have it but it's sold out! They're checking to see what they can find for me. From what I can find, it is a terrestrial orchid and I think it likes warm temps and med light.
Does anybody know more about this particular type of orchid? I'd never heard of it before, but I'm sure there are thousands that would fit into that category
