The orange thing? That's a sort of leaf at the node where the flower stems formed.Congrats Hal! Is that a seedpod I see to the immediate right of the flower?
To be honest, I’m not sure. Each flower is on one of those pods. It’s the first time I’ve had this sort of orchid bloom.I think I'm referring to the dark brown hairy "tube" behind the wilting (?) flower, so the brown tube growing out of the "orange thing".
