hi,

found this one in bloom in the garden, although it was trying to hide, no chance! haha
this species usually has only 3 ridges on the labellum, so i gotta observe the next flowers.

cheers,

Awesome flower Ron, the lip looks like a shark's mouth turned upside down.

I wonder about the size. How long is the maximum size of the bulb and the diameter of the flower ?. I know that it has very thin bulb ( more like paper sheet).

What an interesting flower! My 6-year-old grandson would love the slightly dangerous look to it, and would probably have his Star Wars and GI Joe figures battling around it!
