This picture is from January when the bloom just opened...and the flower is still alive although not as fresh looking.

I can see the spicerianum

Thanks Troy!
And yes Ozpaph, I was surprised how much it looks like a spicerianum (but bigger) especially after the dorsal reflexed. This is a pic with the dorsal fluted.
But I really didn't have any expectations when I bought it because my son fell in love with the name, and he just had to have it! So the bloom was a nice surprise.
