It’s possible, after all, it was an orchid exhibit. I’m not very good with plant names. It looked like a pitcher plant to me, but your suggestion seems more reasonable. Let’s call it a Lady’s Slipper Orchid then.

What flower is this? I’ve forgotten since I took the photo. Looks like a magnolia, but it only blooms in spring.

Hi Raoul,
Isn’t this an orchid? The lower lobe is like a pitcher plant, but it’s so colourful (not green), and resembles something like a Lady’s Slipper Orchid.
Dig the focus and the strong bokeh.
