The flowers were quite big this time but I am not real fond of the drooping petals.
Looking good! Thanks for sharing. Did the petals droop the last time it bloomed?
AMEN.David,
It's a nice classic clone...and the drooping petals do not bother me a iota (if I should quibble with something - and it would be a minor issue, it would be, that the sepals seem to furl a bit...I guess you guys and gals down under have had to struggle a bit with heat?).
I think the obsession in orchid judging with horizontal petals in Roths is a fad generated by probably AOS judges and japanese breeders in collusion...it certainly is one aesthetic ideal, but in my opinion definately not the only one!
