Default Phrag lindenii
This plant is the only naturally peloric slipper orchid. It has no pouch, and instead, a third long petal.

I will post a few other photos as the petals (which can reach 2 feet long) lengthen.

Yeah, sweet and cute, right up until it sucks your brains out...

I saw one try and do that to Sigourney Weaver one time. Her hair was shorter than mine. I don't think it cared for the look.

that's the first time I heard a slipper pouch referred to as a toilet bowl!! LOL

Does remind me of Sigourney's Alien.
