Some earlier relevant feedback:
This is circulating on Whatsapp
Doesn't look like Aristolochia though.
The pictures belong to "White egret orchid" a small terrestrial orchid
found in Japan
Pecteilis radiata/ Habenaria radiata
Pankaj ji will throw more light on it
Dr Satish Phadke
Thanks Satish ji. So at least these are true pictures and not like earlier
"Narilatha" photos which were circulating on WhatsApp sometime back. But
the shape is really unbelievable.
Regards.

One more doubt as a layperson Satish ji ! Do orchids grow as creepers also ?

Subject: [efloraofindia:222554] Which species of Aristolochia ?
To: indiantreepix <[email protected]>
Dear Friends,
Since last two days I have been receiving a post on WhatsApp along with
photos of a flower बदकवेल ( in Marathi) i.e.Aristolochia.The post gives a
reference of Marathi paper ( Divya Marathi Bhaskar) and says that this
flower has bloomed in the garden of Ms. Meenakshi Vani- Ex.President,Garden
Club Jalgaon ( Maharashtra). I have searched for the species of this flower
on web but none of the species from Aristolochia seemed to be of this shape
and complete white in colour.The flower really looks unbelievable.
Can anyone help in identifying this ? Posting the photos of this flower.
By any chance can this be a fake post ?
Regards,
Shobha
