Just getting ready to pop. Got this last year off ebay as a large seedling which originally came from Quintal. Crazy dark purple so far, hope it stays that way. Like every viet I've ever bloomed, it has two buds on the stem.

Here she be. Not a particularly large flower, just a beautiful one. NS 10cm, petal width 4.2cm, dorsal width 3.5cm, synsepal width 3.9cm. Petal color does get gradually darker towards the tips; it's not a trick of light & shadow.

That is just sublime. Colour and form. The shape is exceptional, especially for this species.
It is a beaut! Love it.
Great shape (hopefully it holds after a week) and the color is great.

Bold of you to think I can resist pollinating it for a week...
Exceptional!
This flower is extraordinarily lovely....good shape, good colouration....just lovely.
Would be cool to breed with my vietnamense 'Halo Be Thy Name' AM/AOS if you save a tiny spot of pollen?

Is it blooming? Last time we tried this with thaianum, it didn't work very well lol.
Not blooming now… I’ll let you know when I see a bud or two.
