I got this one a while back and it grows soooo slowly, even for an orchid. I think this species and Rhyncolaelia digbyana are best friends! Anyway, very unusual looking flower with very pendulus bloom, therefore pretty tough to take pictures of. Enjoy!

P.S. There is no scent that I can detect.

Thanks guys! The contrast with the pure white petals and the dark maroon lip is just so cool.

Beautiful! Slow-growing indeed. Bought a seedling several years ago, still waiting.
