I was thinking of Habenaria radiata, we call it Dove Orchid in french. Visibly Dove orchid in English is something completely different! And I really don't see how Peristeria elata looks like a dove?

Camille, it is not the whole flower, but only the inner structures of the flower that looks like a dove.... Check the link below and you will see the dove init



well, actually it looks more like a fat white turkey

P.S.- The link is in the picture itself.... click on it and you should go to the website

I'm trying to find one that shows a slight side-angle...that's when you can really see the "dove"
