Just got one of these from Glen Decker. Nice sized plant. Probably will have to grow a while before coming to blooming size. What's the leaf span on yours?
This is the first flowering. The leaves are 45 cm. The inflorescence has three flowers.

Nice start as a potential building block. I wouldn't say it an improvement over either parent but it does have potential.

Thank you, I have been hesitating a lot because my English is very bad

Interesting one. But if you ask me, it doesn't beat gig. as species

Welcome from Canada, vandacee! Your plant is beautiful. I'd like to find one like this. BTW; Your English is actually quite good. Don't worry about that. Plus, don't forget that you can use Google translate. http://translate.google.com/#

Your English is fine, vandacee! I wish I could say that of my French! Welcome to Slippertalk. I'm looking forward to seeing more photos of your plants. Based on these photos of this hybrid, you must have a wonderful collection.

I disagree - I think it's an improvement over gigantifolium 'cause the petals got longer! Not all improvement is in the flowers, it may also have more vigor, & be quicker growing than either species. So yes we also agree Rick, would you get one of these? Think about it, is the sandie x gig cross (Chiu Hua Dancer) better? If so why?
Oh yeah!
