Not a common orchid, this specimen was rescued from a downed tree along a tributary to the Rio Cuale, at about 3,000 feet above sea level. Like all Stanhopea, the leaves grow upward, and the flowers are on a stem that grows downward.
Govenia tequilana
Found near San Sebastian del Oeste, about 5,000 feet above sea level, this terrestrial orchid has but one leaf, which is reddish-purple in color. The inflorescence bears 6 to a dozen flowers, spaced about 2 inches apart.
