Moleyarrow? Male
Default Moleyarrow?

This mysterious plant is shown growing in fields and marshy areas throughout a rather sophisticated computer game called The Witcher. Most of the plant and bird species shown in the game are realistic. This plant is labeled "Moleyarrow" and I can find no reference to it in English other than in discussions of The Witcher. It looks a lot like an orchid to me. The name they give may be a corrupted translation of something native to Eastern Europe, because that's where most of the game's authors hail from -- Poland in particular. Witcher, as an illustration, is a translation of Germanic hexer, which is similar to our term Warlock. Anybody able to identify this plant in any Western tongue?

The name is fictional. Id does look like an orchid, but not one that would likely to be growing in fields in Eastern Europe. Someone took some photos in a store or at a show (these look tropical), and applied some imagination.

The front of the flowers look like Phalaenopsis gigantea hybrids. They normally have barring on the backs of the petals, too. The leaves and flower stalk looks like something in the Iridaceae, maybe Crocosmia. It is an artist's fantasy.
