Would any one care to guess at a name for this one??
It came with a label but I doubt what's on it.
Size about 5inches ( 125mm) Compact plant. Little to no other olors in the throat. Yes, the lip is faulty.
Color of flower is actually darker than pic shows.

Looks to me like a peloric where the lip is trying to emulate the petals instead of the more commonly seen reverse situation, or they're all somewhere in between. There's no way to know from a single flower if it will always be that way. Really makes it hard to even guess what it is. What does the label say?

Without a tag, its impossible to say what this is called.

The name supplied was Rlc. Hisako Akatsuka. No clonal name. The flower is 90mm across, not as prev' noted. I moved the lip out from behind the petals this morning, opened incorrectly, not uncommon. There isn't any other colors in the flower. Here is a pic from this morn' after adjustment.

Th pictures in Orchid Wiz have a different coloring in the lip (yellow throat), but the overall flower shape is similar. It may be labeled correctly.
