Still opening, I think. I've moved it into a sunny window to see if natural light helps the next flower open, as this one is extremely hooded and cuppy. It could be due to some bud deformities, we'll see. Dorsal is huge, 6.3cm, and synsepal is almost as big. I removed the 3rd bud. No sense wasting the energy.

Welp, I think it's as open as it's going to get. It's clearly going through some growing pains, so chop time. The final measurements: NS 19.2 x 11cm, petal width 3.3, dorsal width 6.4, synsepal width 6.

Beautiful!
Growing pains? The plant is not doing well?

Oh the plant is doing very well, it just couldn't quite figure out what it wanted to do with its flowers. I did spray it pretty hard when I got it, that may have messed it up.

Took a legit pic with the one flower I left on. It continued to grow; the spread is now 20cm. I am pronouncing it done now, no more measuring lol. 
Lol I like your style. Let's leave one flower and see if it can grow bigger...snipp..Hahaha. I did that many times, my friend watching almost had a heart attack.
Congrats in flowering that baby. Mine took a dive after flowering twice. Malnutrition, I guess.
