Paphinia herrerae
Big, big flower on a smaller plant. These gorgeous flowers are pendant so plant needs to be hung or set on an inverted pot when bloom spikes emerge. Plant will throw several spikes and flowers open simultaneously. Reblooms within a month or two. Likes intermediate temperatures and moderate to low light. Watering cycle is the same year around, maybe a little less fertilizer in winter when days are shorter. Plant is spectacular when 5 or 6 blooms are hanging over the edge of the pot.
