I am super excited to have this flower!
This is its third bloom, and the best one yet with all its faults.
Last time, the dorsal was terribly malformed. This time, there is only a slight tear.
The overall fullness of the flower and the size are the biggest improvement over the last bloom.
Last one was still large at 15cm across. This one, even with the crazy wavy petals, it is 18cm (if I spread open the wavy petals, it is 20cm)!! it might still be growing because it was 16 two days ago.
The petals were perfectly horizontally stretched out last year, but narrower.
This time, they are much fuller but unruly as seen here.
The pouch was perfect last time, and it is terribly dented all over this time.
Last year, the spike was very tall, this time, it is more like hangianum.
I like it shorter.
I angled the shot so it shows its best.
The fragrance is the same as last time. Very pleasant day and night!
The good thing is that it is a good grower too. It has a new fan going already.
I'm already curious how the fourth bloom will turn out.
