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 oculata (No 6)
This is one of the most diverse species of stanhopea, found from Southern Mexico to Panama, Northern Colombia and Venezuela.
This clone is a small oculata variety. It has much smaller pseudobulbs and leaves. The flowers are also smaller than my large oculata clone.
This grows well for me in Sydney. Flowering most years around late January / early February.
