Looking at your photo has made me want a couple for my
collection. The color is scrumptious. Might you have one or two
for sale come spring?

*this is assuming we have spring. Seems far away right now.

Better dorsal than the others? Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly? Still stunning!

They've all been very close & they all have flaws. It's tough to pick a superlative among them.
How's the spike coming along on yours, Eric?
 
Hrmm, odd. It had a spike initiated when I sent it. Might wanna take a peek in the little sheath in the middle lol.

I did not see any flaw so I am curious and would like to know what are their flaws in your opinion ? I would like to learn how other peoples think as flaw .

Good question.
1. The size is lacking, although this will fix itself in time. I'd really want to see a flower in the 11cm range.
2. The color is unsaturated. Look up some awarded Jason Fischers on here to compare. I kept temps pretty low, so this is more breeding than culture.
3. If you look carefully, you can see some pale streaking in the petals.
4. Petals are thin by modern standards. I'd want to see petal width in the 2.8-3.0 range.
5. The petals face slightly upward, which puts them on a different plane than the rest of the flower. Because of this, there is also a very shallow pinch where the petals turn.
