That is an excellent example of the species Gary. How long have you had it?
Fantastic petal stance.

 

[emydura]

Stunning. Not every day you see this species. The plant looks healthy too.

 

[Hamlet]

Very cool species. I like the pink tips and the stance of the petals.

Beautiful colouration on that one. I have not seen many under cultivation. It's a shame as I think they really nice and desirable. They are easy to cultivate.

I have three clones in my collection. I have been growing two of them for around 15 years now, they seem to grow well for a few years, then regress again. An aggressive repotting seems to convince them it is time to carry on growing.
I purchased this one from a local society member who was only prepared to part with it if it was to be used for breeding. At the time I had the same species on show, but my plant was nearing the end of its blooming, ok to donate pollen, but not to carry a pod, so the deal was struck and the pod seems to be holding nicely.
