Okay, I have never seen a live anitum and only have pictures on the web to compare..if this isn't anitum, then it's crazy how much anitum is dominating (the staminode face is not white though)

I will get a clearer picture of the staminode when it opens all the way and will use my macro lens

Bought this two years ago as a large seedling , which I thought was nowhere near BS..apparently it was NBS...plant now has about 14 inLS with new 2nd growth

the first flower opened trying to align itself with the light spurce so the pouch came out skewed with respect to the sepals...but the other two should be fine
 
Nice! Do you grow in a tent or just put up mylar to reflect light on the walls?
 
I grow under a 1000 watt halide...enclosed with clear plastic for humidity retention..and have some reflecting material
