No, Amey, its not a quiz. Its a game: people that want to play just make their bet and at the end comes the winners prize: big smile on the radio! LOL

Ron, this is a very cute one and I would've made my bet, but I have no clue what the name is... I've seen photos somewhere before...

Cute blooms. Good luck with the identification. Maybe Nelson will know?

Cheers,
BD

hi amey,
in a way it is a quiz, coz i really dont know which specie or genus it is.
so far i checked, malaxis, liparis, dendrochilum, eria..., no match found.

Very weird species, like sea anemones.
