Habenaria filicornis green threads

In this photo the short, broad and deflexed sepals of the Habenaria filicornis flowers are clear to see, as are the (three) thread-like lip lobes. The long spur and erect, tapering floral bract are also visible in most flowers.

Flower colour is dull green, apart from some rusty brown withering of the lateral petals on the hood flanks of some flowers in the photo (www.zimbabweflora.co.zw; www.orchidspecies.com).
