    Reminds me of the old 1950's movie 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'...

    That is pretty ugly for a Coryanthes bud... usually they are wierd, but not like that! Great species too, look forward to seeing it in bloom!

    I agree with Ania. My first impression was that of a chrysalis or wasp pupa.
