    Default Prosthechea rhynchophora

    I obtained this as Hormidium rhychophorum but before posting I checked and it is now a Prosthechea rhychophora. It hails from Mexico and Central America. It is highly fragrant. The resupinate flowers are about 1" and very difficult to photograph

    Frankly, I'm not very good describing scents either, but I'm still always curious.
