Purchased as a seedling about 4 years ago, this is Shin Yi's Pride "SVO" AM/AOS x adductum "Black Top". I believe it is reasonable to assume the adductum was anitum. The flower has just opened and it is quite large with a dorsal width of about 2 inches and petals about 7 inches long. It is still expanding. There were only two buds, but the mature fan wasn't very large. The new fan is larger and I hope will have more flowers next year. The flower spike is tall and strong. I see this as a keeper. Mike
