Another of these has bloomed - rothschildianum 'Black Eagle' x 'Knight Challenge' SM/JOGA
Again not the biggest dorsal at 4.4 cm, but the color is good and those petals! First bloom plant and they are 27cm wide and still growing- though I think about done. The flower has been open 3 days. The stiff and near pristine presentation is really cool. Just one flower here, but even though the single growth is large- the small number of leaves and the general look of the plant suggest this one will get quite large and is in fact still very, very young.
A keeper for sure.
