I'm unsure of the identity of this lovely Anguloa which is unfortunately missing its label. The lip (barely visible in the photos) has characteristics that are intermediate between a couple of species. It may be a hybrid. For the moment it is a question mark, but still beautiful.
I love that the coloration is more vivid on the interior of the flower than on the exterior--clearly it's intended for the private enjoyment its pollinator. It's hard to look at this flower without wondering how the pollinator, a euglossine bee, experiences the colorful pattern and fragrance.
