Odontocidium Hansueli Isler

[RosieC]

I got this new orchid last month. Can't take credit for the flowers as I bought it with just one bud left to open but I love it.

Hubby calls it the Ripe Banana orchid, but I'm not sure I like that name.



This flower is a bit of a mutant
Two lips, two columns and too many petals and sepals.



The last couple of photos were taken on my older camera. The colour difference is partly that, and partly the lighting difference. The yellower colour is what it's like in artificial light, the paler ones are what it looks like in natural light.
