Default Catasetum osculatum
Interesting species with a pouch in the lip which is common in male Catasetum flowers. These flowers pollination mechanism is amazing! When the flowers open in the wild and start emitting their fragrance, the bees, many of them, appear and fly like crazy around them. They seem mesmerized by the flowers!
