Nice photos. New spikes mean new flowers so you will have a bunch of infinitely flowering butterflies soon .   |

That looks great smartie. I have one as well that is in bloom. I'll post a pic and we'll have a comparison. Good growing.

If I can find a peloric one, my anatomy can be verified, since petals would be replaced with lips or vice versa (lips are modified petals).

I think I am wrong with this statement BTW. The middle antenna is a sepal and the two spotted wing like parts are also sepals. Then the two side antenna are petals and the lip is the circular part.
Ron told me so and I found a peloric one that would prove me wrong.

I will have to link you to another forum. He called it mutant.
Mutant Mendenhall!? - OrchidTalk Orchid Forums - Grow Orchids!
Anyways, based on the positioning of the flower parts I can conclude Ron was right
