          Dear Richard,

          the phenomena that you describe with P.moranensis is
          reasonably common in cultivation, I think a photograph
          appeared in the UKCPS Journal a few years back showing this.
          This sort of flower mishap can happen in other species, I
          have had P.pumila with two 'Siamese twin' flowers on the end
          of one scape, and last year I had a P.agnata produce a 'Y'
          shaped inflorescence holding two separate flowers similar to
          the situation with P.ramosa.

          Kind regards

          Loyd
