Hmmm...terrible photos. The flower actually looks quite nice in person. haha

Anyway, This is the first seedling to flower in about 4 years out of flask.
It has been sharing the same pot with three other seedlings in 4 inch pot in the last three years.
These four seedlings had a huge jump in growth in 2016 and grew steadily since. A bit too big actually. A foot across!
I still have five other seedlings to myself, but they are about half the size of these guys. Can't wait to see the other guys to flower.

The cross is (delenatii x Norito Hasegawa).

I like it but I have to agree with Ozpaph, it would be nicer without so much seperation between the dorsal and the petals. However, you do state that it's a first bloom. Maybe better next time?
 
True. However, the bloom is a bit old. and a better angel would have shown it off nicer.
It was perfectly flat but then with time, they tend to dance around a bit. lol

As soon as it finishes flowering, I plan on repotting. It is sending up a new growth and I'm afraid it will get too crowded.
I'm anxious to see what others will be like in bloom, so this one might even go.
A nice white, but I have quite a few white parvis, so no need for multiples of the same flavor! haha
