Help With Some Unfamiliar Terms Please?

Actually, the definition everyone has given for peloria is only half right: Peloria is the presence of symmetry when none is expected. Yes, an orchid that had its petals mimicking the lip can be considered peloric, but don't forget that the same is true for one in which the lip is mutated to look like a petal - for example, Phal. Wold Class 'Big Foot' - (Here's Allen Black's photo: http://ablackorchid.com/PhalWorldClass2.jpg)
