Sobralia atropubescens

Smithsonian, Washington DC

The Sobralias are pretty, fragrant flowers but the bloom usually
only last for a day, so a once a week visit to the greenhouse
provided me with this shot of a very nice bloom.

BJ I love the sumptuous background of the leaves, and the ribbon like quality of the petals and sepals. Almost like a bow on beautifully wrapped gift...this species is rarely photographed so thanks for this superb shot.
