Stage	Dorsal sepal	Lateral sepal	Petal	Labellum
Stage A	5 ± 2	6 ± 2	5 ± 1	20 ± 4^a
Stage B	5 ± 2	6 ± 1	8 ± 3	16 ± 3^a
Stage C	6 ± 1	6 ± 2	8 ± 3	18 ± 3^a

STAGE A non-resupinated flower bud; STAGE B partially-opened resupinated flower; STAGE C completely-bloomed flower. Data are the means ± standard deviations of n = 24. Data was subjected to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Multiple comparisons among means were performed using the Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) with significance level at p < 0.05
