    Default Catasetum discolor, shemale flower from Brazil

    Catasetum discolor shemale flower. Note the female flower of Catasetum discolor, and a different flower and exotic, with a soft perfume, an event unlikely to happen.

    the dome of the female in the last pic seems different from a normal female catasetum hood, there is a purple skirting. usually they are pure green, is it always like this for a discolor or just this one being bizarre?
