This has characters of both P. nutans and P. pedunculata. What do you think, Tony?

I thought the same Cath, both species grow nearby, so the most likely is a hybrid.

I have been checking old nutans flowers, and as they age, the lateral sepals seem to close up and angle back like this. Some of them also become more upright like this, perhaps the ones that have been fertilised.

I checked with Mark Clements who thought it was just a P. nutans a bit past its best.
