I was wondering about the number of petals in this case.
I believe Orchid flower has 6 petals 3 in each whorl.
Can any one elaborate what is the case here?
Have put here a close-up of flowers, also put a cropped version of the close-up.
Not sure of the number of petals / sepals.
Referred ... FOS and found that the green structures are scapes -- perhaps there must be as many flowers as many scapes.
Please correct me if mistaking.
