Stanhopea lietzei
Found in Brazil at 100 to 800 metres.
This came to me many years ago labelled as shuttleworthii.
This grows well in Sydney, not as vigorously as tigrina but still well. Flowering every 2 or 3 years in January.

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.
