Well, after years of waiting, my P. armeniacum has finally opened... with less than stellar results. I grow the plant outside year round, so it is fully acclimated to that environment. I was excited to see two sheaths this spring, and since the buds seemed to be developing well, I simply left the plant in its normal place. One day I came out to find at least one of the half-developed buds to be sun scorched, but the other seemed OK. I immediately put the plant in a more sheltered position, but it turned out to be too late. Both flowers didn't open well, especially the severely scorched one. Oh well, there's always next year, right? 
With the P. malipoense still going strong:
