Ya its orchid .. u know why?

It has the folowing

1= Tepals
2= Gynostemium. Also called column.
3= Anther. Each of the two parts contain (up-down) a pollinium, caudicula and viscidium
4= Staminode. Sterile stamen. One can be seen on the other side of the column.
5= Rostellum. A membrane, involved in the prevention of self-pollination.
