Dendrobium spectabile flower
Like a virtuoso dancer at the top of a high jump, this flower of Den. spectabile curls its sepals and petals inward. This is the terminal flower of the inflorescence and its sepal and petal arrangement is unlike all the others. This plant has flowers that resemble the offspring of a starfish that took LSD during pregnacy. There is a close up of the lip of this flower elsewhere in my album, also there is a photo of the inflorescence. Interestingly, not two flowers in an inflorescense, at least in my plants, have exactly the same sepal and petal orientation.
