Thank you everyone. Last minute decision to skip judging because I felt the plant wasn't ready. More than half of the flowers are not fully opened on Saturday.
If I was going. I probably would lay this plant flat in a long box. Flowers will be rested on fibers. Phal gigantea looses its pollen quickly. But it's okay because once the plant is shown. Then the flowers can wilt the next day and I wouldn't care. That said. I get to enjoy the flowers longer when the plant is not disturbed from transporting to judging center.
Here are a few more pictures taken couple days ago.
Not easy to get good pictures without supplemental lighting. Flowers are facing downward and no sunlight when I took these pictures with my phone.
