That's the first time of bloom
That dorsal is amazing. It is not your normal gratrixianum.
Nice enough. The flower may not be fully mature. How long has it been open?
The vegetative form looks like the gratrixianum from the Bolivan plateau in Laos. The blooms is a little different though.. Posting a pic here. I think the person who sent me the pic wont mind.

These look more like insigne (although that species is not noted for Laos).
Interesting that there is almost no purple spotting on the foliage of Vinhpicohp's gratrixianum. How big is this flower? It's certainly different from the flower and plant habit of the afine/gratrixianum types that were from Vietnam.
There is such a huge amount of variation (and inter-relatedness) in gratrixianum and villosum. But if this is a large flower I would consider it more of a villosum variety instead of a gratrixianum.
Nice gratrix! It reminds me a bit of mine with no green on the dorsal and a minimum of purple spotting on the foliage (and wide leaves as well).
Where did you get yours from?
