To the best of my knowledge all the stanhopea names are correct. Whenever I'm not sure about a name I'll make a note in the post.
I'm a guy that likes to grow a few orchids, I'm not a botanist or horticulturalist so any friendly advice would be welcomed. If you think any of the species or hybrid names are incorrect or if you have any questions about a post please get in touch.
All images are my own. All are of my various stanhopea and related species and hybrids.

Stanhopea tigrina var nigroviolacea (No 4)
Found in Mexico around 600 to 1700 metres.
This is another tigrina var nigroviolacea clone I have. This clone has far more solid colouring on the sepals. I really like it.
Like all tigrinas it grows like a weed in Sydney. Flowering every year, normally around late December or early January.
