Psychopsis elegans

[wogga]

Well, i guess i was right when i thought "hey, that doesn't sound right!"

'I'm always right. One time i thought i was wrong, but it turned out i was just mistaken'

Thanks for the clarification, diane!

There is an Odontoglossum species, elegans, with similar coloration to a Psychopsis, but obviously very different flower form.

It's a naturally occurring hybrid between Odm. cirrhosum x cristatum. You'll also see the hybridized cross with a capital 'E.'

Yes, there is that, but there truly is a psychopsis elegans that is a moth. The name has been changed - taxonomists!!! It's common name is Coddling Moth.
