Usually the petals reflex back once the flower is fully open. Only select clones stay flat, like P. venustum 'Marjorie'. I suspect many such clones actually have some hybrid blood in them. Some very nice venustum hybrids can easily be mistaken for venustum but have enhanced colour and form with petals that stay flat.Very pretty! Mine curls the petals as it matures. hmmm...I wonder if venustum does curl the petals....
