The image was taken at a local orchid meeting. Another zygopetalum can be seen in the first comment section. It used to be in my collection at home.
Zygopetalum is a genus of the orchid family (Orchidaceae) (subfamily Epidendroideae, tribe Cymbidieae, subtribe Zygopetalinae), consisting of fourteen currently recognized species.
They occur in humid forests at low- to mid-elevation regions of South America, with most species in Brazil.
Most species are epiphytes, but some are terrestrials with glossy, strap-like, plicate leaves, which are apical, oblong or elliptic-lanceolate, acute or acuminate. These orchids have a robust growth form. Their ovoid-conical pseudobulbs are deciduous.
They are known for their ease of culture and are much in demand as excellent cut flowers. Wikipedia
