Hello Emerson, nice picture.. but the flower is Not an Orchid, I do not know exactly which plant is it, but I am sure belong to Melastomatacea family (maybe the genus Tibouchina), which have these special and spectacular stamens. Instead of tendrils, they are more like a levers that help to discharge the pollen when the insect visits and touch the flower. I am sorry if I bored you with my botanical lesson.. Best regards, Ricardo.
