Stanhopea Lile
A primary hybrid between Stanhopea wardii x Stanhopea connata
A lovely hybrid. Often mistakenly sold as a connata species.
This plant flowers for me around early February

Stanhopea connata
Stanhopea connata
This would have to be one of my favourite stanhopea.
Found in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru at 1000 to 2000 metres.
This is an average grower for me in Sydney. Flowering every 2nd or 3rd year, normally around late Feb or March. It's been struggling over the last couple of years so I'm trying it in the glasshouse to see if that helps things.
The connata is a very distinctive stanhopea that makes some great hybrids.
