That is really nice, Robert! The petals don't bother me. After all, cochlos have wonky petals and this is half primulinum. Plus, the petals are symetrical. I think it's got a very interesting, pleasing shape. It wouldn't have the appeal to me if the petals were flat. Sure, it'd be considered better show quality; but, it still wouldn't be as nice to my eye as it is right now. Good cross!
