Great plants and pictures!  I'm new here. So are you growing these? Are they easy to grow or touchy? I've seen the last on ebay a lot.

Love that B. nodossa
I have quite a few hybrids! 
and that Stanhopea is just too bizarre! 
Wonderful!

The first one is really cool! It's so different. I have a mini like that, it's cute and the bloom is not your every day colors, which makes it even cooler!

Congrats, Juan!
The gorgeous hernandezii is mounted, isn't it? Jointly with martiana these mexican Stans are mine "most wanted"! Stan hernandezii was the first Stanhopea species that was seen in Europe, in the Francisco Hernandez (1515-1578) book "De Rerum Medicarum Novae Hispaniae Thesaurus", published in 1628, several years after the author's death. He called the plant "Coatzonte Coxochitl" (aztec Nahuatl language). I think the correct name of the genus "Stanhopea" would be "Coatzonte", or the Latin translation "Lyncea flore" (Lynx flower)! Unfortunately the genus was described only in 1829 by Hooker, and the type species for the genus is the brazilian Stanhopea insignis.

Thanks for that very interesting tidbit of history on such an unusual species!
How appropriate in naming it the 'lynx flower'

Nice photos! My nodosa is a seedling on a wood shingle and one day will bloom like that.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Hi Federico:
Yes is mounted in a tree (Huachil) also an aztec name, I think the name of the stanhopeas in nahuatl means flower in form of a snake head. I have a friend, in a spanish forum, who is going to post and article were is described the names of the mexican orchids in nahuatl. Thanks for the tips in history, very interesting.
Muchos saludos
