Charlesworthii '183°'

[tnyr5]

Got a division back of my old clone, which is pretty much the best charlesworthii a mere mortal such as myself could ever hope to possess. Recent division so not showing full color/size potential yet...but who cares! Just look at it!

[Ozpaph]

Viewing it in profile gives you a better idea

 

[Tom-DE]

That looks CHONKY! And a true charlesworthii, not King Charles.

 

[Tom-DE]

King Charles? I don't know if anyone could sell Charlie as the King...
It is one the best charlesworthii flowers I have even seen if it is not the best.

WOW this one is great ... but take care I can see leaves with rotten parts in the first photos ... maybe you already removed them ?

The dorsal typically covers a circular arc of about 183 degrees.

Oh those are just old leaves from where it was divided. Nothing to worry about, though I appreciate it .
