Photos of a parrot flower.

I've had these photos for some time now and just forgot to post them. My dad's aunt out of Oklahoma had sent these to me a while back and I thought they were so cool I wanted to share them.

I don't know what type of flower this is. Maybe some type of orchid?

I went looking for them in Thailand a few months ago, couldn't find anyone who had a clue what they were. I really wanted some too!

Tara, you were close: It's known on the internet as "The Rare Thailand Parrot Flower"
