Dracula gigas

[Rosim_in_BR]

It's a monkey, isn't it? Or maybe a lion face? Draculas are neat flowers! They always have something extra to show you!
This is one of the few Dracula species which floral stem does not go down. On the contrary, it grows upward, as can be seen in one of the photos, and then, later, when the flower is completely developed its weight keeps the stem in an almost horizontal position and the flower in its characteristic position facing the floor.
