Paphiopedilum Sanderianum
Native to East Malaysia from Fire Mountain attached to lime stone the strange part is the petals very long and twisted.

I love the long petals. I was once told that they are for ants to crawl up to pollinate the flower.
Cheers,

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .

very nice! I also heard that they were ant ladders. The petals will stop growing once they his a surface. You can get them longer by having the flower dangle over the edge of the bench.
