This is the back of the flower, the rest of the petals are from the other side. This is what it looks like, there are a few similar species though.

  Thanks, WildFlower :)
  
  Could this be Cirrhopetalum sibuyanense then, as Cirrhopetalum sibuyanense is described from Sibuyan Island?
  I saw this during a night hike to Mt. Guiting-Guiting and had not even thought it was an Orchid. Posted 8 years ago

    As I said, these species are similar and I am not sure how to tell them apart or what their distribution is. Do you have a photo of the other side of the flowers? Posted 8 years ago

      OK, understood. I asked that because Cirrhopetalum sibuyanense is described from the Sibuyan island. Unfortunately, I didn't have any picture from the other side, as I didn't even think this was an Orchid and didn't bother to check the other side.
