Stanhopea grandiflora is a pseudobulbous epiphytic orchid from wet tropical Trinidad and tropical South America, grown for its large, fragrant, short-lived flowers. Stanhopea is a genus of mostly epiphytic orchids, and cultivation centres on giving it bright, humid conditions with a rest after flowering.
Stanhopea grandiflora (Lodd.) Lindl. is a species of orchid occurring from Trinidad to southern tropical America.
Initially described as Ceratochilus grandiflorus by Loddiges, it was transferred to the genus Stanhopea by Lindley ; it must not be confused with another species that was later invalidly given the same name (Stanhopea grandiflora (Humb. & Bonpl.) Rchb.f.) by H. G. Reichenbach, but is now Stanhopea jenischiana Kramer ex Rchb.f. .
