    Can you guess what it is from this tiny segment of the flower? No prize other than satisfaction. Hint: It is often mislabeled but a feature shown in the photo is a distinguishing characteristic.

    Close enough :clap:.
    L. manabina is what this species is frequently labeled but the fringe on the bottom of the lip as well as the shape of the lip makes this one L. gargoyla.

    Good job!
