What an unusual flower! Looks alien

so, I see 3 sepals ... and are the petals fused with the lip?

The petals tuck themselves under the dorsal sepal and, sit naturally in that position.

I grow it in a Bark & Large Perlite mix,in an 8 inch pot!
Plant growth is typical Catasetum 7 bulbs(about 10 inches tall)with one new lead, spike originating from the base of new lead
