What do you mean? the form looks fine to me
I suspect this is a more "normal" henry, not one whose roundness has been enhanced by line breeding.I don't have the species, but I do have a few primary crosses, and they are among my favorites. Your henryanum is very nice, even if it doesn't play exactly by the judges' rules...
I have to agree with PaphjointLooks nice from where I sit
Compared to the OL flower its pretty average. You can see daylight between the bottom edge of the dorsal sepal and the petals.
It could be the angle of the camera too. If you lower the camera & aim the angle a little more upward, I am sure you would not see much of the daylight in between the sepal & the petal.
very nice but I like the recurved dorsals. I have often wondered which is the more "original" or "natural."
Actually, I just look at some of the awarded henryanum in AQ magazines today, some AM, some HCC, and they definitely look inferior to yours.That's cheatingoke:oke: I really like this flower, but there really is a big difference between the two lines. The bottom edge of the DS of this flower does curl back leaving the gap you see. There is no curl on the larger DS of the OL flower that creates a true overlap of the DS and petals. Probably the best attribute of this flower is the petal background color, which is a purplish color instead of the dark mahogany that many henryanums usually have.
