Crazy Flower Mutation!

[Tim P.]

I was looking at my orchid today and noticed that one flower was different.... but it diddnt take me long to see what was different... It is a phal and they usually have five petals, well this one had THREE!!! check out the pics!!! also notice that the red thing in the center is grown into the pollination thing... i dont know the technical terms... sorry

ENJOY! thought i would share my little surprise today... I also have another surprise on the same stalk waiting to open, it looks like it may have a tiny little top petal, so the buds insides are showing.

fyi... i took a picture of a normal flower so you can compare it to the abnormal one. There is currently two spikes on the plant and one of them has a branch, so i have three different points where buds have been made.
