Phrag lindenii
This plant is the only naturally peloric slipper orchid. It has no pouch, and instead, a third long petal.
I will post a few other photos as the petals (which can reach 2 feet long) lengthen.

Yeah, sweet and cute, right up until it sucks your brains out...
I saw one try and do that to Sigourney Weaver one time. Her hair was shorter than mine. I don't think it cared for the look.

Does remind me of Sigourney's Alien. |
