This plant was given to me by a friend after it was passed at a judging. I don't know if he was feeling generous or disgusted! In all fairness, this is the best blooming yet. The blemish on the dorsal is actually cold damage. This is the second bloom on this spike, and the plant has been in bloom on this spike for over 8 weeks. It is a primary hybrid between philippinense x hirsutissimum, though the tag of this plant shows it is the reverse cross (hirsutissimum x philippinense).
