Stanhopea pseudoradiosa

This orchid is a cool to warm growing epiphyte with oval, strongly ribbed, pseudobulbs. T^[2] hese are pod-like formations, underneath the orchid's leaves, which store nutrients and water, to adapt to periods of drought. Stanhopea pseudoradiosas have single, leathery, leaves, shaped like narrow ovals, tapering at the end, with a short sharp point.^[2] The leaf has a leafstalk, called a petiole, and is plicate (leaf looks folded/like a fan). It has loosely 2 to 5 fragrant inflorescences that bloom in the summer, enveloped by spread, large, broadly triangular, acute floral bracts (leaf below flower).^[2] The flower size is 2 to 2.2 inches [5 to 5.5 cm].^[2]
