I have a couple of philli clones which have a low flower count and untwisted petals, but the colour is very thin. Admittedly I have never seen a dorsal like this before. Interesting....
 
I have to admit, though a fantastic flower, I'm seeing a totally different stance than I've ever seen in any phil. species. My laevi was totally and completely different. My first thought was Julius because of the stance but anitum or adductum coiuld make sense of the dark color.

Interesting to say the least, and gorgeous to say the least as well!
 
It looks like pure philipinense to my eyes. This species is incredibly variable in every respect. I think people have pre-conceived views of what a phillipinense should look like and anything outside that range is suspicious. I see no adductum or anitum or anything else for that matter in ths plant.

In anycase, laevigatum is not even a recognised taxonomic group.
