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 Peter Grinnell
A primary hybrid between Stanhopea oculata x Stanhopea graveolens

With oculata and graveolens as parents this hybrid grows well in Sydney. This clone has an eye spot on the hypochile.

Stanhopea graveolens (No 2)
A species found in Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
This grows well in Sydney. Flowering most years around February / March.
I purchased this plant as "wardii var. aurea", a common miss labelling for this species in Australia.
