Yes, it's Habenaria medusa. I saw some on sale, but I wasn't sure how easy they are to care for, so I decided not to get one. I've second-guessed that decision many times now! I have a couple of orchid books by local authors, but many of the others I see are by people living in temperate zones, and the advice they give on cultivation doesn't always work in the tropics. Here's encyclia alata - one of my purchases. A fantastic specimen of this species won the championship trophy at the orchid show. I couldn't get a close-up shot of it cos it was in a roped-off area to keep it away from rabid orchid fans.
