...sums up my thoughts, as well, when I saw the photo that was posted by Jay Pfahl. We can hope that the plant is identified. C. divaricata has long been one of my favorite North American orchids, and that Brazilian species is certainly a fascinating variation on that image.
Jay, what are the conditions under which it was growing?
Another question, directed generally: have any artificial hybrids been made with Cleistes?
