The color is great but the rest of it is way out of wack. These kinds of crosses can be tough getting the right combination of genes together. Does the plant, itself, have distorted leaves, color break and/or poor growth rate? If so, it probable will never give you a quality flower. If most of the plant acts and looks "normal" then the next blooming could be fantastic! Good luck.
 
Rick the plant looks very healthy and also has a nice new growth started.
i thought that i may also show you the back:)

The plant does look good. Well worth growing on for another blooming. I have a plant called Pink Bandit. It's a cross between Transvaal and delenatii, and it quite often will have flicks color (color break) in the flowers. Sometimes more, some times very little but at one point it got awarded a HCC. Not by me but a friend. Even the Black Diamond(fairrie X delenatii) I posted back in March has lighter pink streaks in the flowers.
