Stanhopea inodora

Or, at least, I'm pretty sure it's the unspotted form of S. inodora. I received it simply as "Stanhopea sp."

If anybody has a differing opinion, please let me know! I'm not a Stanhopea expert by any means.

Despite the name, S. inodora is scented. This one smells of vanilla and allspice.

Details of the hypochile and epichile. The "eyes" are larger on the interior of the hypochile than the exterior. The epichile has the feeling of plastic, but is unrealistically smooth; like marble.

As close as I could get to the interior of the hypochile.
