What an odd but interesting flower! I've never seen nor heard of this one before.![]()
what a strange sugary lip, lovely!
LOL another for the ipod! it takes my breath away!
Awesome Photography .. love the orchid ..
Another new one for me. Interesting orchid and what is that on the lip?
I photographed this blossom some time ago, now it is withered a bit, but yeah, this on it's lip is, as Ron said, the most like sugar, lik a crystal candy.
I bought it as Maxillaria meirax, but then I googled a bit and found out this one was mooved in 2007 to Rhetinantha genus, which has 15 species.
The v shaped, white callus on the margin of the lip is a very good diagnostic for this species.
It was love at first sight
