The term for this is a 'peloric' flower. Check out

for an explanation of why this may occur

It's seems like a pseudo-peloric (my own term ) where the labellum has taken on the characteristic of the petal or sepal.
I still think it looks like a hairlip

...and my thanks goes to Joanna (cneos) for having suggested the article

I found it to be very interesting as I have a peloric phal equestris and it happens to be one of my favorites

Which one? Sue
I could have gotten 'Gino' peloric but I chose not to and my non-peloric is in bud .. I find it needs a lot of water (it is growing in chc, charcoal and perlite not sphag)
