One of my favorites for its vibrant color and outstanding fragrance. Can anyone elucidate the relevant differences between citrina and the recently-described E. karwinskii?
Actually not sure which of them this is... Thank you!

Euchile citrina
Nat, these are wonderful images, probably the best I've seen of this species. It's a pity we can't get the lovely lemon scent from the flower. I don't know anything about the recently described E.karwinskii, but would be very happy just owning E.citrina.

Thank you, bernabu!! That is
Thank you, bernabu!! That is a high compliment, especially as I find this one rather hard to photograph well. I originally sought out this species because Roman Kaiser says in The Scent of Orchids that it is one of his favorite orchid fragrances, which opinion I now share.
Magical images
Spectacular! Wonderful display!
Just interested in how are you growing this one? It looks like you have it mounted on a tree from the images. :)
