Stanhopea wardii x costaricensis

This is another beautiful stanhopea from my collection that just finished its flowering – it’s a pretty cross of wardii x costaricensis. The blooms of this cross are large, sculptured and both parents contributed splendidly to this cross.

This orchid is very generous in terms of sending many flower spikes during its blooming season and the flowers predominantly white with yellow center and slight pink tingle on the petals with many dark pink colored spots. The scent is very strong, sweet with smell of bergamot in the background – very lovely and pleasant combination.

This orchid constantly developing new leaves and bulbs during growing season thus quickly maturing and it’s another wonderful stanhopea for any collector of these astonishing plants.
