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.

Stanhopea panamensis
Found in Panama at elevations around 900 metres.
This grows well for me in my heated greenhouse with a minimum temperature of about 12ºC. I do believe there are clones getting around that grow happily in Sydney bush house conditions.
This flowers for me innate February.
