Hello Leuba! Thanks a lot. The flower is just the same as in your given link. Thanks for updating me. I am updating my spotting. Yes, Sikkim is a place full of nature's treasure.

Hi Pampa, This belongs to the Araceae family which includes plants like Taro and it is not an Orchid. Because plants like these are grown for ornamental value, they sometimes have various species names. I hope I've given you the correct one (aethiopica). . Sikkim must have some great wild life (plants and insects) - we look forward to seeing some !. thanks for your great notes.
