Anyway wonderful plant and flower stem.

i added two pics, the first one with the two stout fangs is from the third photo in the first thread, the male
and
the second pic without the fang structure is the stigma of the hermaphrodite.
the stem is slightly over two feet and i aspire to grow it to those giant clusters i see pics from the internet. perhaps i would try growing them in sand and coconut fiber mixture and this one is a terrestial orchid and in the natural habitat, they can grow on land in sandy soil area
Catasetum discolor mixed inflorescence
