Interesting plant, never seen it before, neither life nor onscreen.
Well, we live and learn...
When it's closed, or opened only a bit, it reminds me of the
famous "mean green mother from outer space" 

Have a nice day
Karl

Fabulous plant! I first saw this on David Attenborough's series Private Life of Plants. I'm a plant freak!
