One of my few non slippers in bloom. Flowers are quite large and has an unusual nocturnal scent. Thanks for looking!

I don't know but I think they are also called Star of Bethlehems because of the large star shaped flowers. I also think they are called the Darwin orchid because he had predicted that the flowers were pollinated by a giant moth with 13 inch long proboscis. Many decades later, such moths were discovered pollinating the flowers at night.
