Peloric form of Cattleya loddigesii

[Rosim_in_BR]

Not everybody likes peloric orchids because, for some reason, the idea of monstrosity has been tied to these flowers. Nevertheless, there's another way to look at these orchids if you think that tri-lipped orchids represent nothing more than an attempt to achieve the lost floral symmetry and that's why pelory is so common in orchids in my opinion. Here's an example of a tri-lipped C. loddigesii with a beautiful look.
