    To me they look identical are those names interchangeable perhaps?

    They look the same to me as well, Mike. I was given one of these with an orchidarium, but it died. I let it get too dry. The name on ours was listed as Haraella retrocalla (odorata). I think don't believe there is a difference. Both of yours look healthy and beautifully bloomed.

    Cheers,

    Both looked gorgeous! I wouldn't even know that they are different until you name them.

    I love this species. These plants bloom constantly once they get going. I have the peloric form. Highly recommend that one if you can find it. By the way retrocalla and odorata are synonyms. It is the same species.
