I know Emma, but I found that image through Google images and if you look there that is the only one with that form, all the other resemble mine. Take a look. It could be mistakenly i.ded as plicata

Viv,my flower very much resembles Plicata. The actual one , I mean, besides the photograph. It could very well be Plicata.

Hi Emma! Not 100% on plicata. Yours seems to be the odd one out looking at Google images so maybe wait for definite 'plicata'

I recognised the leaf on your spotting as I have many Spathyglottis growing here. I love them as they are one of the orchids that grow in the ground. I split mine periodically and share them with the locals. Yours has a different. flower form .. very pretty!
