Tri-lipped forms are always strange. In this case, the lip is repeated in the lateral petals to a certain degree making this a very different flower. The second photo was taken with it side by side with the type for a better assessment of the mutation.

That's a peloric variation I haven't seen. Interesting, and worth breeding with........
Tried selfing it two times and cross it with four or five different Oncidium species without success, Phantasm. I am trying (again) to cross it with Oncidium johnesianum because of its beautiful white lips that I would love seeing repeated in the petals... Let's see!
