My try - on the right is guttatum

No, those were first and second bloom. The third is here. Took almost a month to open both flowers on one inflorescence.

Congratulations! :clap: So, what was "her" class in the end? Bronze or pink?

My favorite, which I'd never bloomed... Amazing plant! Congratulations!

Yes, I've seen it. But why are you showing me that thread? In this thread I'm comparing photo of vendor who sold me this plant to my photo of this plant taken when it is in bloom. And I'm writing in this thread because Gore was offered the same plant with the same photo at the same time, but...

So, here we are. Doesn't look similar to the first photo at all, I think. Dorsal has spots, petals went upward... just a typical haynaldianum....

I missed to show you the second blooming in 2009. Now it is opening for the third time (started today) and ... it doesn't look like the same plant. I'll wait a bit to see and will make a photo a bit later.

Very impressive! :clap: How do you water them? Is there an automated watering system?

Thank you all for comments. No, it was a sunny day and I brought it out only to make a picture in a sunshine :) No, it is a regular type. Yes, this one is one of them.

Thanks! Measured it. 9 cm NS

First blooming

thanks! I was adding a bit, but was not sure if I was doing right.

Heather, do you add calcium in your mix?

Yeah, I know it is a primary of micranthum and malipoense. I meant particular clones and probably vars. I've never seen Fanaticum with so white and big lip. Usually if it is big it is much more pinkish. I guess, this one was made with micranthum var. eburneum.

It is beautiful! Do you know the parents?
