The plant below is not the most spectacular flower, but the more I stare at the photo the more interested I get. There are faint veins on the tepals, the central cup is veined pale brown but with a middle stripe that's yellow with leopard spots. And those wide inner tepals an interesting contrasting dark brown.

Overall, it's like a formal tuxedo worn with a really garish tie and pocket square.
