To the best of my knowledge all the stanhopea names are correct. Whenever I'm not sure about a name I'll make a note in the post.
I'm a guy that likes to grow a few orchids, I'm not a botanist or horticulturalist so any friendly advice would be welcomed. If you think any of the species or hybrid names are incorrect or if you have any questions about a post please get in touch.
All images are my own. All are of my various stanhopea and related species and hybrids.

Given how similar greerii is to wardii I'd say this flower would be much like an Assidensis.

This grows well in Sydney. Flowering at random times throughout the year. I've got 2 clones of this (I think). 1 hasn't flowered for me yet. The plant in the picture was purchased as a deltoidea 2 or 3 year before it flowered.
