Great!Could you send pics about whole plant and where dorsal can be seen?

Great pics.

Looks so much like a cupped mastersianum, esp the colors, and even the staminode.

It's worth breeding, best outcross to Istvan's wenthworth when it opens (on op of selfing, if roots are strong).

Feed well after blooming as it seems nutrient deficiency is high with them from flowering.

think it is labelled correctly ? could it be a masterianum? it has 2 growths and is growing well.

Ooops, I did not mean to doubt it was wenworth. I just pointed out it looked similar to mastersianum.

But I will do a little research now for curiosity. It's rare to get a chance to study this species.

If you could humor me... What is size of flower? The width of petals looks bigger than a mastersianum.

Also size of plant and largest leaf?
 
Here is my plant.Too rare to pollinate it, i m not enough brave although it was single growth plant and now stronger than before.

Mark,

Wow! The flower could open a bit more, but otherwise excellent. That is certainly for me a real wentworthianum, lacking the spotting on the inner part of the petals that would make me think papuanum. May I ask where you were able to obtain such an incredible rarity (at some cost, no doubt!)?

Alex
