That looks like a green that I wouldn't mind living with me. Nice flower.

My division is in bud, too ! It seems to be an easy grower. It didn't skip a beat from shipping and repotting.

Justin · Aug 23, 2015

that is great. you are going to love the flower.

Silvan · Aug 23, 2015

I really like it. Does this cross stays compact?

Justin · Aug 23, 2015

the plant habit is typical maudiae

Happypaphy7 · Aug 23, 2015

Can you take a photo with your hand behind the flower?
I think if it's a real deal, the flower should be huge.

I was searching for this famous hybrid for a while, but could not find anywhere.

I have two maudiae album hybrid that have quite large flowers, but the shape is not something I am totally in love with.
Still in search for that large flower with great shape.

I have one or two with great flower shape, but the size is not there.
I want both!

Maybe someday.

Justin · Aug 24, 2015

it's the real deal. yes the flower is quite large. i will measure it when it is fully open.

jtrmd · Aug 24, 2015

This is one I always wanted to own. The real deal is hard to come by these days.

Happypaphy7 · Aug 24, 2015

Many fakes around for money. lol
and some modern hybrids are just about as good or better, yet, this old classic is still very nice.

Justin · Aug 28, 2015

full bloom. huge flower w/ 7.5cm dorsal.

Happypaphy7 · Aug 29, 2015

The flower shape is definitely Clair de Lune 'EVB'

littlefrog · Aug 29, 2015

I have four or five very large divisions on my list...

Justin · Aug 29, 2015

i hope you get some takers rib it is a great clone.

littlefrog · Aug 29, 2015

That and Maudiae 'The Queen', two of the best green maudiae types ever...

Happypaphy7 · Aug 31, 2015

I like this one much better than The Queen for the overall fullness of the flower.
I think The Queen does have nicer green color, though! It's never perfect, I guess. lol
