I think this one is a keeper! I don't know if it's fully open now. It just started opening last friday. It's a bit cupped and the NS is 11cm. It's small. I hope with better culture it will give me a bigger flower.

A bit of history. I ordered this plant along with several other plants, mostly complexes, from Sam Tsui in October 2010 and the package got lost. The plants were in the box for almost 2 months! I lost a couple and the rest struggled for a while. Now after more than 2 years, 4 of them have flowered and 3 so far are keepers! Not bad for a batch of 9 plants!

PS: Sorry for the crappy Iphone photos. Too much yellow! I will post better photos in a few days when the flower, hopefully, fully matures.

Dont leave the flower on too long.

It would be a keeper for me!
Needs a fitting clonal name - 'Indestructable'!

Great idea for a clonal name! Or how about 'Survivor'.

If it ever gets awarded in future blooming, ill name it "indestructible"!

Yes Eric! Some of them even grew elongated stems for a while as if reaching for the light!!
