It is kind of pretty. This happens occasionally to a single flower or two
on an inflorescence of otherwise normal flowers. It is not a very
consistent mutation. My guess is that it is caused by temperature or
diurnal range stresses while buds and spikes are developing and that some
species/hybrids are more susceptible to it than others. But this is just a
guess, I don't know why it happens.

Anybody care to speculate if they think this fits into the set of
"abnormally regular" mutations required to define it as 'peloric' :-)

Hi, I just want to share the picture of one of my Phalaenopsis
(http://www.ptgdi.com/phal.jpg).
The form of the flower is strange, I think the two lower sepals merge
with the lip.
