I believe it is genus Prosthechea but I could be wrong.


Nearly all orchids in this contest will be native to Costa Rica

Yes, I agree, Prosthechea and I see the species as starting with abb
How about Prosthechea abbreviata?

You say "here is another one"., looking at the second Tag -
I think Camaridium. Looking at the species, what to do you think about Camaridium ochroleucum?

http://www.orchidspecies.com/m...
I think the growth habit looks like it too.
Camaridium/Maxillaria !😄
I will keep on looking... the 1. tag is a real toughie

If the 1. letter might be an M, then one might consider Masdevallia?
Masdevallia striatella occurs in Costa Rica.... but I can't make it out on the tag.

I think you're right about the first letter being an "M".

Could the genus be Macradenia?

Pleurothallis
now have to dig a bit on the species, it looks familiar, I know I have grown this one 20 years ago. Let me dig in my brain.
