These are among my favorite orchids and i think of "aliens" every time i am so fortunate/lucky to get a Gongora to flower.

Very nice & very different: Yes I agree, I too can see 'alien bats?' thanks for posting I had never seen this orchid before.

I just love these weird little things. Even the name, 'GonGORa', is kind of creepy.
