This thing is torturing me, we're on day five since the sepals started to part and it still isn't even half open. I like what I can see so far. Parents are roths 'Five Fortune' × sand 'Ping Tong'

Color looks dark. It has all the hallmarks of a good PEOY!
I'm thrilled with how it turned out. For those of you with experience in judging, do you think this is worth taking in? The measurements are comparable to records I could find of awarded plants but I don't know if the flower count or lack of roths "shoulders" might hurt it on the point scale?

I don't know if it is the official name but yeah, I mean more of a horizontal spread before they start to drop like this one from Big Leaf. I personally prefer the closer stance like mine has because it looks more natural, but from what I've read it seems like judges are trained to look for wider, "rounder" flowers.

Its a nice clone for sure. 4 flowers is good, but not exceptional. The 'white chin' would be a negative ie the pouch isnt a homogenous colour.

I agree with Stephen, the white chin will substrate points.
I'll be traveling during next month's judging day so chances are I will have to wait for a second bloom, hopefully with another flower or two on a more mature plant. Is the pouch color enough to disqualify it even if flower count improves?

Very opinionated these judges but i would say take it. No award setting at home
always worth a go
