Slightly OTand X-post: ID needed
 

I asked once a long time ago, but got no positive ID. Does anyone know
which orchid this is?

Reka,

The scan is very small - it's hard for me to be positive, but I don't think
it's an orchid at all.

Well, that could explain the problems I have had getting an ID! Thanks,

Hi Reka,

I think you will find it is Sprekelia
formosissima.(Amaryllidaceae)
Bolivia 1962.

Thanks, Alan, I have now taken it out of my collection. Do you collect
stamps, too?

Hello Reka,

I'm afraid that it's not an orchid. It is a Sprekelia formosissima. This
plant originates from Mexico and grows up to about 40 cm high. It grows from
a bulb and is, at least here in The Netherlands, in the spring readily
available in the garden centres.

I hope this answers your question.

All the best,

Rob Zuiderwijk
