    Smile 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,

    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.
