So I’d made several attempts some months back to snag myself a nice Mareeba Tiger. I picked up a few plants off of Ebay, which I know is a crapshoot, and one of the plants I ended up with just opened a first bloom yesterday.
Much to my (not really) surprise, looks like this might not actually be a Mareeba Tiger. Honestly, first thing I’d noticed was the plant is much smaller than I’d be expecting from this cross.

I do really like the flower though, so I’m not disappointed.
Any ideas? Looks more like a straight aclandiae, but I’m no expert.
