charlesworthii

dang that's nice!!!

 

[Justin]

how does it measure up to other chucks? the color and form alone make it a special plant in my eyes.

 

[Justin]

also what is the parentage?

It's the 'G' x 'Bear' cross that everyone has.
Most of the recently awarded charlesworthii are in the 8-9 cm range with 2cm+ petals and a 7+ cm dorsal with no white patch or notches at the top of it. So, this one falls slightly short (though it does mop the floor with a 2008 HCC, in my opinion). Still, it may be useful for breeding.

You say this now but it is it's first blooming. No one knows what the future will hold.

Welp, it's been 6 weeks and although the color has faded somewhat over time, the dorsal never did any reflexing. Interestingly, it actually covers an arc of more than 180°. I'm tempted to put some pollen on it!
