Thanks to all who chimed in on both this species and also contributed to the fascinating discussion of these upward-growing roots. I was advised when I bought this plant that I'd need to repot and somehow force those roots into the potting medium - luckily, I have not yet had time to shoot myself in the foot! Thanks to all, and good growing. Regards - Nancy (with a couple of Stanhopea species exhibiting this phenomenon)
