Did someone say you can't go wrong with a charlie X? Incredible color, but incredibly ugly!

Any plant can have a deformed flower from time to time, any cross, any species. Does it always bloom like this?

Hopefully not, this is the 1st time bloom, last month at club there was a really nice one & I recall Ross having a couple of these as well. It has a 2nd bud so won't be long to see a difference, I hope!

Ouch! Does the other bud look any better as its forming?
Looks like this guy is having a "bad hair day".
oke: Please post a picture of the next bloom.
Rose and I probably bought this cross from the same source in Chicago. Most of the plants had fairly long leaf spans, so I looked for smaller more compact examples. (This was about three years ago, maybe more.) Here are pics of a couple.

It appears normal just as this one did!
I got it at Hausermann's this Sept. There was a couple with flowers open, 1 was OK & the other was fairly decent. Needing/wanting blooms for my display in Oct. I thought I'd go with a budded one, it would certainly be open by mid Oct.!Looks like this guy is having a "bad hair day".

From what I recall, the one at club had the shape of Ross's 2nd one but less white in the dorsal, which would have been fine for me. We did have a warm Nov. so I'm hoping this had something to do with it.Why is it ugly?
Doesn't anyone collect "non typical" orchid plants?
Maybe it is just a stepping stone in breeding slippers that look like Dahlias.

Oh, c'mon -- it's just a less round charlesworthii influence.
