Default Papilionanthe teres
Strange orchid! The dorsal is folded, the petals are twisted forming a cover to the lip... I'm inclined to think that the flower exists to accomplish the pollination and that the flower parts are all meant to some useful purpose in that sense... But something really bugs me... what are those two horns for (perfectly visible on the bud and also on the back of the opened flower) !
