I am now sure that it is the black orchid. Not a clue on what the right flower is, but I suspect it is also a plant that is endemic to Belize.

I looked them up in Gerhard's WMK: Heliconia aurantiaca and Malvaviscus arboreus.  He has the other info I posted, so I would suppose he is correct. He usually is. I couldn't lay my hands on the book for a while, because I was having a big tidy-up.
