Now the plant is flowering for the first time for me
Here is another one that I have been trying to find forever! I really think the modification of the lip to such a small opening is fascinating. Such a bizarre and unique genus!

Wow, what a wonderful flower!!!
It looks like an alien... very handsome, though!!
This specie really has a strange shape that resembles to me some kind of tropical wasp, quite weird but nevertheless interesting and something to have in any way.
