What a wonderful space! Thanks for sharing all those pictures! It's sleeting right now in Philly, so this was a nice diversion!
That is a beautiful plant! And three buds? Can't wait to see it fully opened.
1st 2= Phrag Eric Young x Twilight #4
2nd 2= Macabe 'bigguy' x black current 'Flaming Arrow' (power petals)? This tag gives me an aneurysm
3= phrag Pupule
4 and 5th= Primulinum

Thank you for the photo! I love the shape and color of that flower but I really love the leaves. It is going to be a spectacular inflorescence. Delenati seems to be the only thing that will grow happily for me. I need to try more hybrids with it. 'Snow Festival' is lovely also. It reminds me of 'Puddleham Rounder' which just bloomed for me. Not to my credit, came in sheath. I love seeing your green forest. Everything looks so happy. Here is 'Puddleham' and 'Lynleigh Koopowitz' who bloomed earlier this year and who did not come in sheath.

Yay! Congratulations. That is wonderful news. The flower does look enormous for that tiny pot. I don't know the first thing about judging, but the pink margins of the sepals is really striking and enhances the shape of the flowers.
I dont know anything about judging either! I was gone for 1.5 hrs and came back, sat down and was listening to the gentleman read a discription of a flower he was looking at in a 2" pot. I could only see the back of the flower and from the distance it was white ish. He was very specific on splashes, dots, color markings on specific places on the dorsal, petals, color and shape of the pouch. He finished, explained to the ladies that was how it would be written up then said, I dont know if the owner is here for the clonal name. Looked up at me and said 'are you Steve? I about crapped myself...lol OMG thats MY plant!!
I ended up getting to talk with him for a while as he was photographing other winners. He showed me the pics he took of mine, talked about temp and humidity to help complex paphs open how they should, etc.
It was an enlightening day
