Hanne Popow 'Jersey' AM/AOS (4N) x kovachii.
It's been in the collection since 2013, bark mix grown in a 6 inch aircone pot for the past 2 years. First bloom seedling. Unclear of the source, I have to check back with the society member who passed a few seedlings my way from the flask.

enjoy.

Very shapely and that nice rich kovachii-inspired pouch!

 

[Linus_Cello]

nice shape; is there another bud along the way?

 

[PeteM]

Nope, this looks to be one and done. Kind of late in the season for me and I'm surprised it finished blooming at all. I have another seedling from the same flask and it aborted the spike a month ago.

Nice one. Great color!

That's going to be a stunner with that coloration. How's inside the pouch look?

Oh my, what large petals you have there! The color is splendid.
Thank you for the pouch shot. I had no idea of the speckles
inside...very cute.
