And a close up

Enjoy,

Rick, what size is the plant please. I have a seedling DO and I'm wondering if its flowering size which I think it could be.

 

[SlipperKing]

Roy,
I'm at work and can't get the exact LS but it's in the range of 20 inches (~50cm) But more importantly it has a second growth (1/2 mature). I have 3 plants of this cross and this is the second to bloom. Both with new large growths. The third is still a single fan in the 20 inch range with, I believe, a bud breaking but no signs of blooming

Thanks Rick, my plant is about 18 inch LS but no second growth yet. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer.

It seems to favor its roth parent.

Hi Rick , flowers look great. How is your GH temp holding out these days. My David Ott was murdered a couple years ago:eviloug

 

[Ron-NY]

so, I hope my David Ott looks as nice when it blooms eventually

Leo,
I think it's a piece of junk but it's a Toshiba PDR-M61 model. Fixed lens with some manuel adjustments. I have to take doz of PICs, upload to the computer then delete most and save (and/or fix) the PICs I keep. Really what you see on screen of the camera ain't what you get uploaded on the computer! So I have to do a lot of bracketing, over and under exposeing.
I can't get good PICs during the brightest part of the day. So I photograph early, late or on cloudy days. I don't like the flash PICs this camera takes either.
Any suggestions on a good SLR out there?

Doug,
GH is doing as is expected, low 80's. I've never seen it in the 90's but it will see 88 in Aug

Ron,
My other D Ott's petals almost touch each other as they bow a round as in surpardii. I've seen one DO on the net with out stretched petals like roth. It didn't do anything for me. Looked more like a bad roth, IMO.
