Well I think that's a well grown and flowered plant Jean!

Bravo:clap:

In comparison to my crazy plant I can see that the bract covering the ovary normally is shorter than the ovary (you can see a bit of it connecting to the flower).

In comparison to mine, the bract completely covers the ovary and actually extended about a 1/4" past the dorsal sepal!
 
One of my favourite species. Yours looks excellent!!

I have a boxallii and it grows like weed as well. IMO P. villosum tends to be a fast grower if you can provide some cold in winter.
 
Excellent job JeanLux! I have a clone with similar markings yours but once in awhile will throw deformed flowers. Yours are prefect, everyone!
