Next time, when the bud develops, keep it as cool as you possibly can. The dorsal may be almost solidly dark. That was my experience with "giganteum". the cooler the temperature, the darker the dorsal. Take care, Eric
Very nice again Tadd. I thought fairrieanum v. nigrescens was suppose to have dark hairs on the pouch or somewhere and that it had smaller blooms. Do you know anything about this?
