Starting to open and petals are 12 inches already. Picked this one up from Leo

I think it's cool how the petals start to show when the flower bud first cracks open, see second bud.

WOW Rick. That looks like it is going to be a beauty. Nice colour. Can't wait to see it in full flower. So this is from the recent ones Leo had for sale?

Congrats! Looks like its going to be real nice! It's fascinating to watch how these long-petalled flowers (Phrag. caudatum as well) unfurl.

I agree Carsten and yes David, from Leo.
