Maxillaria species

[Ron-NY]

Maxillaria graciles (cerifera)

This species I have not been able to ID. The p-bulb stands about an inch tall topped by 2 narrow 5" leaves. It is a prolific bloomer with a sweet fragrance. The flower is a bit over 1" high

Edit...I have an ID

Once you get their culture down they are not difficult. I find that they need more light than Jay's site recommends. It is a big genus and some are cool growers and others warm but they all do fairly well for me with intermediate. Some need more moisture than others but I compensate by altering the mix so they all can get watered the same.

This is one I'd be interested in growing. I hope you can ID it someday.
