This opened yesterday on Christmas day.
It’s a decent flower with a good dorsal and should improve as the plant isn’t yet mature. The leaf span of the flowering growth is just under 50cm and the flower is 9cm across. My largest FS has a flower span of 12.5cm, so it is considerably smaller, but then this is probably diploid and the large one a confirmed triploid.
It was bought as a seedling maybe 7 years ago from Ratcliffe’s and is originally from the EYOF. One of the parents maybe besseae flavum.
I managed to grow it up and flower it once and then I almost killed it and it lost most of its roots. It’s been a long way back, probably about three years of recuperation.
