Current pic taken at KFBG. Plant is collected from Thailand. Normally
the colour is more of yellow but this is red variant.
If you look at the lip, there are some droplet like things shining.
These are naturally found on the lip, may be secretions to attract
insects.
Lasiochilum refers to the 'lasio' - hairy (wooly) margin of 'chilum' -
parts of labellum.

Pankaj
