There are actually 2 orchids with faces.

The monkey face orchid was originally in the genus Masdevallia, but was moved to the genus Dracula, species simia. It is an epiphytic orchid and the flowers smell like ripe oranges.

The other is the baboon face orchid, Dracula anthracina.

I found a nursery that sells D anthracina (baboon face)

The sites should have the info on care included
