I think it's worth the wait. Those petals are wonderful.
the rest of the bloom ain't bad neither!

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice one!

It looks like a sandie to me and a nicely colored one at that. Some would argue here the petals don't reflex back hard enough nor curly enough to be pure. I disagree, its pure enough for me.

Absolutely fantastic Jim. Congratulations on flowering this species. There wouldn't be many people in Australia that have done this. A pity you weren't closer otherwise I would come and see it in person.

How long have you been growing this? Is this of Taiwanese origin?

I have read that sanderianum are prone to do that. They grow incredibly slowly to begin with and then all of a sudden take off.

How far is the other seedling off flowering size?

Gorgeous! Is it blooming on a single mature fan?
