    Default two colour forms of Cirrhopetalum umbellatum



    It looks a bit more sinister when artificail lighting is used.

    That's VERY bizarre, Nelson ... the differences in the lips on that first umbrel pictured. Is that just a function of the age of the flower?

    We get to view the inner area of the lip that is in the center. The lip becomes smoother and shinier, with colour patterns in the distal half.
