I like the color and contrast on this, but the dorsal tends to twist. :(

One would expect the dorsal to twist on a cross like this. You might be able to prevent the twisting by bringing it inside and putting it under a fixed light source in a carefully climate-controlled room. Whether it's worth the bother, however, is up to you :).
 
Interesting!
I've been wanting to get this from Lehua for a long time but didn't want to buy a whole bunch. lol
How big is the plant & pot? It looks small but I think it's the angle.

That's an interesting concept. I might try it with the next spiking.

It is a big plant. Not gigantifolium size, but big. Yes, it is the angle of the photo that makes the plant look small.
