An other one who first flowering and different!

(Sorry! I had to take the picture under neon light...)

Your petals are more curled than mine...I managed 4 flowers on the first spike..4th one just opened.

It's got poor form and will not win any awards; but, WOW(!), I LOVE it anyway! It is so-ooo cute! I really like the shape and the colour of the pouch and the petals is awesome.

Send all unawardable, yet really cool plants my way please! Did you mean fluorescent light, or do you have a neon sign in your kitchen?:rollhappy:

 

[phrag guy]

is different but I like it

 

[Kevin]

Looks like a good candidate to cross with kovachii!

It's crazy, IMO, that something like this is considered to not have good form -- just because the petals and dorsal aren't flat??? It's symmetrical -- maybe it's supposed to look like that curvy and luscious. I would take it into my collection in a heartbeat.

I agree completely!

The AOS judging system is a strange world... although awarded plants are clearly the best of the best, people get too obsessed with meeting the criteria, if you ask me.

Twisting in sepals and petals must be symmetrical to be considered a good trait... this one is pretty symmetrical that way, but not perfectly so. The dorsal, I think, is what would disqualify it from any awards.

Having said that, I really like it, and would like to see the color without the neon light!

Most of this cross has been consistently flat, but this one is unique. I love its elegant twists with the fat pouch. I had to take several looks at the photos, so it must be good.

Fluorescent light! Direct translation are not always good....

I will try to take picture when the sun is going to be there, forecast = next 3 days = snow.

That's different for the cross! Remember, that one's on the list I sent also JP!

 

[JeanLux]

[biothanasis]

I love the two toned colour!!!!!! A real beauty!

 

[Hera]

That's a real darling!

Me too ! It's like comparing Marilyn Monroe's curvy figure to the Twiggy models/movie stars of today !! :rollhappy:
Poor Marilyn would be considered not "awardable" in todays world.

 

[NYEric]

I'll take both; thank you Gilda.
