Saw this at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens today. Even amongst all the orchids it commanded attention. A sign around the corner revealed it to be a "bat flower".

A cluster of purple-black flowers with softer purple whiskers trailing from them. Above the cluster are two large white bracts (I think?) almost like umbrellas sheltering the flowers.
