Default Cycnoches herrenhusanum

I think these are the female flowers, though if you look closely, you can see what appears to be a pollen cap. I know for sure that these are not male flowers because of the shape (female and male flowers in Cycnoches are TOTALLY different). Im going out on a limb and saying that this might be one of the rare hermaphroditic flowers that Cycnoches get sometimes. Seeing it in real life, it looks very much like a pollen cap. Any thoughts?

Looks like it could be to me Steve, although I have no expertise here. I will say that I love this guy! Cychnoches are some of the coolest orchids around! Enjoy him-her.

Don't know about yours, but that kind of thing is a crime in this state!
Not like all the other flowers, are they?
