Pretty picture: Stenorrhynchos speciosum

This was the second year I've seen Stenorrhynchos speciosum at the orchid show (the first being 2011). Better full-plant photo this time around, but the close-up was worse.


There are, of course, even better photos to be found of this species on other sites. I'm particularly interested in the photos at davesgarden.com, which show a specimen with spotted leaves. I like the foliage on this species anyway, but the spotted version is even more interesting.

Pretty pictures: Stenorrhynchos speciosum

Two orchid posts in a row that both reference last March? What's going on here? What happened to PATSP?

It just worked out that way. Sorry.

Today, we have Stenorrhynchos speciosum, again from the orchid show last March. It's one of the possible parents of an orchid we saw at last year's show, Stenosarcos Vanguard 'Fireball,' but the flowers are more densely-packed on this than on Stenosarcos.


And I remembered to get a full-plant photo! (At least, as close to a full-plant photo as the crowded displays at the show permitted. And not a very good one. But still: progress!)
