How on earth!
Wow....5 inches (125mm) across. How on earth did I miss this one Bernard! Very nice.
Do you grow this one or just photographed it somewhere?

I have it in flower at the moment, have posted an image in the last few days of the same plant now showing 3 flowers. I must correct the distribution info on this post, this variety is found in Borneo. The flower is very robust. I am informed that the reason for the dark colouring is because this variety is found in vegitation at the entrance to caves.

I must have missed it
There has been so much going up on the site lately I must have missed it Bernard.
I'll have a look for it and link it to this one OK.
EDIT: Done!
