    OK, I don't know how to edit the title, so it was pointed out to me that it is Dipteranthus, with a U.

    This is the first time I have bloomed this. The flowers are 1/4" wide. Growing intermediate, year round water.

    I don't have the book the Orchids of Bolivia, so if some one does, it may be in there.

    Thanks. I'm perfectly happy with it without a name, but a name wouldn't hurt.
