Detail

Flowering height 190 - 210mm (under glass, probably shorter outside). Leaves broad, plicate, arching, approximately 140mm long at flowering time. Scapes upright. Ovary conical, narrowing at the junction with the outer segments and with a smooth transition to the pedicel. Ovary length:width approximately 9:5. Basic flower shape conical., with the outer segments sweeping out and up. Flower length including ovary 30mm. Pedicel almost equal the length of the broad, slightly curved spathe. Outer segments broad and paddle-shaped, curving out and upwards longitudinally, but downwards horizontally, 21mm long by 15mm wide, with a small sinus notch at the upturned apex. The 5mm long claw displays the inner segment eye markings. The textured outer segments are randomly ridged and corrugated. There are two outer segment marks, the larger apical mark a rich green, indistinct broad inverted U, separated by a white margin from the apex. The smaller basal mark is a paler green soft oval at about a quarter of the way from the base of the segment. The inner surface bears a central green streak extending almost to the base.The inner segments are 13 x 10 mm. There are two inner segment marks: the apical mark is a deep green inverted V, extending to 40% of the length of the segment. The basal mark is a bright green soft double oval, usually joined by a central narrow bridge, but sometimes separated, giving the appearance of ‘eyes’ The inner surface mark is rich green, with white veins and perimeter,in addition to a ‘shadow’ of the outer surface. The flower is honey scented.
