Very nice :) How long did it take from seed? I have a few flasks of these that are creeping along...

Looks like that first bloom still have a little growing to do in the petals :) The dorsal is a great shape at this stage, though. Very attractive :)

This one took almost 10 years but other plants in the batch flowered 2 years ago - I think that time lapse could have been squeezed down quite a bit as I initially didn't have any MH equipment
 
Beautiful! I have several stonei and am patiently waiting for one of them to bloom....it would be nice to have several flower but I'll settle for one right now.

What is MH Uri? How big is this plant?

A two growths plant

MH is Metal Halide (lamp)

That makes sense. I have had mine in bright light since they were seedlings, and they are now putting on 2nd growths at 2-3 years with a LS of almost 24".
