I received this seedling in sheath in June and I was surprised to see the sheath on such a little plant(only 4.25" LS). I am not sure if it will be a keeper. Hopefully, the flower will improve next time.
The flower(2.5"NS) has been open for almost a month and still going strong...for that, I might just keep it since I can't keep the Magic Lantern flower longer than two weeks in my growing condition.

I would definitely give that at least another blooming cycle or two to evaluate it. I bet a larger and more established plant will produce more shapely flowers. The flower gives me mini Magic Lantern vibes, so the fact that the flowers are much longer lasting makes it a clear winner, especially if the form improves in the future.

i was hoping this would be thick and flat. Worth another try

Try try again

Keep it and give it another try. It's blooming for the first time on a small plant. It needs more time.
