Yellow besseae - Interesting Deformity

[TrueNorth]

This just opened yesterday. First flowering for me. The bottom half of one of the petals thinks it should be part of the pouch. It has fenestrations!

Not sure why the pictures are so small this time. Let's try again:

Interesting, looks like the pouch imprinted on the petal

 

[SlipperFan]

It looks like the petal tried to be a pouch.

Peloric

 

[abax]

The flower is a beautiful color and is apparently ambitious.

 

[likespaphs]

isn't it only peloric if they are truly lips?

 

[NYEric]

No. Also peloric if it's trying to make its lip symetrically.

 

[Ozpaph]

ouch

 

[eteson]

petal fenestrations, interesting...

 

[Drorchid]

Peloric

and besides being Peloric, it is Chimeric too! Only the bottom half of the petal is trying to be a pouch, as the top half is a regular petal..
