Hello,

This is a terrestrial orchid native to Argentina and Bolivia I think.
It may be mistaken with Sacoila lanceolata, that grows in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and may be Paraguay; and the difference is that lanceolata has pink/salmon flowers, and argentina has light yellow flowers.

I collected those plants in a field of mine, and they are really easy to find. I really like growing terrestrial orchids.

It is growing in a plastic pot, with a substrate composed by sphagnum moss, common earth, some organic materials like leaves, and a little bit of black stones for the drainage.
(I will try to learn to translate better all kind of materials I use for growing my plants, so I can explain myself better and you can understand me)

Hope you like it.

Hugs!

Very pretty, Izio. They look quite tall. How long do the flowers last and are they fragrant? Thank you!
