| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| A moderate-sized plant, 10-40 cm tall, with three to five long, narrow, folded basal leaves and several narrow, pointed stem leaves. There are as many as 200 densely-packed pink flowers in a long, slim spike, each with a very long, down-curved spur full of nectar. The lateral sepals are narrow, pointed and droop down.The lip is clearly divided into three rounded lobes, the central lobe being the longest. The plant has a sickly-sweet scent. |

What a superb looking flower Anita. The quality of your image is wonderful, nice sharpness. The OOF background looks lovely and contrast so well with the flower. Very nice.
Cheers,
Debbie
