Cactus Orchid

This plant is one of the ugliest, that is before it bursts into bloom. The pink one, I've had for a very long time, it never gets any bigger because I keep giving cuttings away to almost anyone that sees it. I does not like the cold and struggles to thrive against the warmth of the brick wall.
Glorious delicate colour, and a different shape than the red one below.

There so many types of orchids out there and you sure picked one that is a sight for sore eyes. Now if you want really ugly orchid, then look for the Warty hammer orchid. Here's a great resource for beginners about orchid care.
