A few weeks ago, I posted pictures of Coryanthes Speciosa. This week, Eduardo M. sent me these spectacular pictures of two different ones grown by him in his orchid room. Eduardo and his wife have a large collection, with lots of species. The one on the left below is a Coryanthes Verrucolineata, which I believe is from Peru, not Venezuela. The one on the right is a spectacular Coryanthes Alborosea, also from Peru.
Below is a Coryanthes Verrucolineata under attack by Euglossa bees, you can see they are all over the place and how much they are attarcted to the flower.
