    The first photo made me think it was a phal of some type, but then the next photo changed my mind. It is a cool bloom.

    Cheers,

    Default Tuberolabium rhopalorrhachis?

    Tim I don't think this one is Pterocheras teres, the nature of the leaves itself are so different from this plant. Here is the plant for the Tuberolabium rhopalorrhachis with flower. Well good to have the new species to discuss to get the ID.
