    Hi everyone,
    I came across some photos on flickr which were incorrectly labeled, and helped the individual narrow it down to a genus, but that's the best I could do. He has asked if I could find out what these are, and has given me permission to link to them here. It's some sort of cyrtorchis, and he says he took these photos in the D.R. of Congo. Any ideas what these could be? It's a really nice plant, regardless!

    How awesome. My only thought is that arcuata is alleged to be quite widespread so that would be an obvious starting point.

    I think we're pretty certain that it's C. arcuata subsp. arcuata. Right on Mr. Breeze! Thanks for sharing this with us Calvin :)
