hi,
Can anyone name this orchid please?

thanks

That's a pretty hard one to identify, but I think it's

Invisiblium wearzthepicturatum.

I would have to disagree. I'm pretty sure that's
Failurianum uploadicus

 

[Secundino]

Plainia nonsensii.
But a nice one!

As usual with orchids, it depends on whose taxonomy you follow. Always a fight over naming rights for such a remarkable new species.

 

[NYEric]

A new variety of this species is being reported from China.

BTW, you have to use a 2nd party site like flkr or Photobucket and copy and paste the photos here.

Impressive!!! I love those white petals and sepals!!! I love the spotless pouch and the immaculate staminoide ! But the white background is not the best choice for such a nice bloom.

(Aren't we funny?)

 

[limuhead]

Definitely an alba!
Never seen one like that before...

 

[NYEric]

Come back!!

 

[Dido]

Our Friend will love this alba.

Hope his list works on that one

Isn't this the elusive "ghost orchid"?

Another thing I enjoy about this forum....the excellent sense of humor!

aquaman64 thought so too.

aquaman64 thought so too.

Are you being facetious?

I really wanted to see the mystery orchid.

 

[NYEric]

I'm hoping we didn't scare him away.

I agree. We are not laughing at him, just taking advantage of a missing photo.

Almost choked on blueberry.
