    This flower is about 1.5 cm from front to back. It is on a small plant, about 2" tall (but may get bigger when it makes a comeback). I don't know the country of origin.

    You're right, even for a Sigmatostalix it is weird.

    It's similar to Both S. lutzii and S. picta but hard to tell.

    Thanks, Lika, I didn't know S. lutzii, but the images I've found on line don't really match it, but they are closer than anything else.

    I sent the image to a friend and he thinks it is Sigmatostalix unguiculata.
