Anyone else had a Lphilippinense open?

My second one opened over 3 days ago. It has a more bulbous middle, so the petals don't lie the same, and of course it has a much darker striping.

Strange thing is, the stigma is blue, pollen is .......YELLOW! Do I have a cross here? Looks like it! The stigma when enlarged in a pic can be seen to have a lighter whitish circle around the middle, where the philly had pale green lines down the centres of the lobes. I don't see green lines on this one.
