That's what I see, anyway, whenever I look at this flower. It's Porroglossum dreisei from Ecuador with flowers around a half inch in size, and another insect trapping species.

Rad, The post title sounds like a Tom Waits song.

This is a very interesting flower....the color and form and it traps insects!

[ronaldhanko]

Wasn't familiar with Tom Waits but looked him up and listened to a couple of songs. Nice. Thanks, both of your for looking and commenting, and Bud, this is your kind of orchid.

Very cool flower! and love the fact that it's an insect trapper.

Thanks, Nenella. It's fun to watch the lip spring up when disturbed with a pencil or something like that.

Very cool!

Cool flower, I love plants and flowers that trap insects

[ronaldhanko]

Thanks, Sonya and Ferns D. I think I'm going to try to video the lip springing up against the column tomorrow. I have several other Porroglossums I can try to video as well.
