Magic Lantern

I wanted to take this to judging but it is slightly asymmetrical so instead of settling for a screen or low award, I decided to wait till blooming. Its a beast though at 15cm NS!

Holy cow, this is not only a very nice and attracting flower but also a huge one. Congrats.

I wonder if the parent is using a vinicolor form of delenatii. It is really dark and beautiful!

 

[MorandiWine]

Correction!! 12 cm. Dyslexia is a bitch. And I get my twos and fives mixed up.

Nice full form and good color.

I would have nominated it for scoring lol.

When I read this this morning I immediately measured mine and thought, holy crow, if that thing is really 15cm NS he should get it to a judging center post haste. 12cm sounds a whole lot more reasonable. Very nice flower though, excellent color.

Very nice…a beast at 12 cm. 15 cm. Woulda been a freak.

MorandiWine - how cold is it at night currently at your location?

I've always thought Magic Lanterns would have better color in cooler weather - not May/June in the Southeast. Yours is gorgeous!!

You have to love it for the color alone.
