    Smile Huntleya vargasii

    Native to tropical rain forest of South America , previously I posted as meleagris but apparently is not. This flower arise from the leaves axil, unfortunately no smell. Flower size about 2 to 3 inches very glossy like plastic, long lasting. Another bud appear on the opposite side.Enjoy the star shape from SA.

    It is so shinny, it almost doesn't look real.

    Cheers,
