I would cut the flower and put it in a glass of water (I always do with my first time bloomers if it's a single growth plant).Thank you, it's really papuanum for me and not much like appletonianum at all- the overall shape of the pouch is wrong, and the staminode is quite different amongst other things.
It's a bit washed out in the petals, but perhaps it'll color up over the next few days.
Btw, this is a first flowering on a one growth plant, and I've seen it recommended to cut the flower early in such cases, especially in Barbata species. Would you guys advocate this?
Cheers,
Alex
