Congrats, that's a great group! And I am jealous of all the light in your GH.

7am; remember its summer here.

175mm natural span.

Wow~ that is quite big.
They don't look like it being in the back of other plants in the photo.
I think I now see some stripes on the petals.

Steve,

My Hatsue Otsuka is only in bud.

The photo of the flower is from last year in Feb.

 

[Ozpaph]

That is a superb flower. Much better shape than mine.
? from Nicky?

 

[Happypaphy7]

Dang~ that is nice!!!
and you have quite a few healthy ones going there. I'm jealous!
Mine are years away from reaching maturity judging by the size.
Hopefully at least one of them comes out looking similar to yours.

Do these bloom every year for you??
