Could be some perspective at work here. Color is great!

Migrant, I was thinking the same thing from "The little shop..." Should we
give that lovely a nick name????

Love the colour, but if the pouch is that out of proportion as it appears in the picture, it's really not that attractive a flower... Is it a perspective thing as Dot wrote? Or is this Jay Leno's long lost, orchid cousin?

Well, nothing is done to the picture. Have to agree that the pouch is not proportionate to the rest of the flower. But it is what it is. Look at this:

Yep and that's a feature what disdinguishes curtisii from superbiens.

I don't know about you all, its might damn ugly but it is what it is as TE says. We got to love the ugly ones too.

Since it is so ugly, I shouldn't be doing any crosses with it, specially selfing or sibing, right? oke:
