Beautiful. The petal shape is very interesting, usually they aren't so curvaceous.

i love the curving petals and especially the striped pouch. simply beautiful. probably the most stunning besseae i have seen.

 

[Ayreon]

Thank you!
I have no idea what the parents are. It didn't say more than "besseae" when I bought it.

Good deal. I hope to see something like it here.

I don't think I've ever seen that much transparent barring in the pouch before! Very nice.

For those of you who may not know, there is a very interesting story behind the transparent pouch. The fly that falls in the pouch is guided to the top behind the staminodial sheild because it sees the light coming through the clear sections of the pouch. besseae is thinking ahead!

That is an AWESOME looking flower, with that pouch. I too have never seen such distinction in the barring. Flowers like that will start a new craze.

:clap: What a flower, and I love your photography, especially the last picture.

 

[Ayreon]

It looks like the server where I had the image died.. so here it is again.

 

[NYEric]

I'm more interested because of the reddish color. Again, very nice.
