I found this Orchid after Hurricane Otto passed through in some branches on the side of the road, looked similar but different from the T. egertonianum I've had for years. The pbulbs are more rounded and plump, without any pleats. So it's been doing fairly well and got two new growths. I just noticed a few days ago it's blooming. The flower is very similar to the T. egertonianum I have except that lines are a little more reddish and it's blooming during a time of year that the local ones don't. So I did a little googling and I couldn't find any Trigonidium species for Costa Rica that are nearly the same as T. egertonianum. This orchid was from a higher elevation (around 600m) as well.
So I was wondering, does T.egertonianum have a pretty variable growth habit or is this a different species? The flowers are a little nicer than the ones I already had. But the pbulbs are actually pretty different.
