What an unusual flower! Looks alien
so, I see 3 sepals ... and are the petals fused with the lip?
The petals tuck themselves under the dorsal sepal and, sit naturally in that position.

Nice work Craig. Do you have a pic of the whole plant? What are you growing it in?
I grow it in a Bark & Large Perlite mix,in an 8 inch pot!
Plant growth is typical Catasetum 7 bulbs(about 10 inches tall)with one new lead, spike originating from the base of new lead

I like how Catasetum shoots pollen... scares the bajeesus out of everyone unfmailiar with the genus...
