thanks Tapirlord - was wondering what makes this d.nigromontana instead of semiunulata?
i saw flattish petals and with lateral sepals seeming to be pointing back plus dorsal sepal not very triangular and not with bluntly pointed apex?

D. semilunulata tends to be more orange in colour and often has more blotches on average.
