    This is a large flowered Sigmatostalix from Ecuador. The flowers are about 1.75 cm wide. Grows around 2000m.

    very nice Marni! I am not found of Onciinae in general, but I've discovered that my Sigmatostalix sergii grows well in low light with the Dracula's, and it is spiking now!

    Gordon, does it remind you of anything? It is a bit bird-like.;)

    There are a number of really interesting Oncidiinae genera besides Sigmatostalix.
