What words did you use to get pinterest orchid Ursula? I can often see the name if the plant is at the top of the page before the screen rises to blacken the page.

I can get google images with names on pinterest by putting 'pinterest' in the seach terms.

What I see in Jewel Orchids is they mostly have several longitudinal veins, where Myriam's plant appears to have rayed veins from the central vein.

I've tried "epiphyte orchid Brasil" which brings up some interesting sites, but no luck.

I've found several Jewel orchid look alikes, all with wrong venation.

Good suggestion to send orchidnews a mail with the picture, problem is at the moment I cannot find it back, forgot in which folder I have put it in, it is difficult to order plant pictures when you don't know what they are..
I'll look for it while I'm continuing to order..

I've send a link to this thread, as it might take long before I'll find the picture back in my many folders.. Rolling my eyes.
Thanks Janet for the mail-link.

Who knows Myriam...you may have a picture of a brand new species. The botany journals are always reporting new species, especially from rainforests and jungle habitats, ranging from frogs no bigger than a fingernail to plants with even smaller blooms. Hope you get an answer.

Isn't that great! I got an answer from Maria Delfina Araujo! Hurray!
The plant is Cyclopogon variegatus. Also in the Orchid family! Very few pics of it on the web..
Growing terrestrial as well as epiphyte!

Brava! Hurray!

Like a friend of mine always says.."If you can't get in the front door, try the back door." I am glad you have a solid ID. Please do post your picture in the Plant database so there will be another record for searchers to reference. Smiling

Hurray!

Your plant is a good example Myriam, very well variegated compared to the first you linked to and the second one looks green.

Thank you all for the shared enthusiasm! Smiling

Thanks Paul to encourage me to mail Maria Delfina Araujo, I am a bit shy of nature and don't easily mail people asking for a favor.. Rolling my eyes.
Thank you Janet to pointing out the different leaf venation from a Jewel Orchid where we got stuck..
