Rhyncholaelia digbyana was declared the national flower of Honduras (Flor Nacional de Honduras) on 1969 November 26.

The basic flower colors are light green to creamy white, with an occasional flower displaying a pale lavender-pink tint. The throats of the flowers range from emerald green in color to having a large rose-colored spot. The flowers which can be up to 7 inches (17.5 cm) in diameter are very similar as far as their sepals and petals are concerned, usually being alike in size, shape and color, with the segments of Rhyncholaelia glauca a little more reflexed. The lips, however, are so distinctly different that these two species can be separated easily without question. Rhyncholaelia digbyana has an extremely large, slightly three-lobed lip, which has a very deeply fringed margin, whereas R. glauca has a broad, blunt, fringeless lip
