From Tom-DE when he was thinning out his collection of large plants. This is an old line-bred cross from Antec, 'Grace' X 'Candor's Red Streamers' I will continue to update as more open.

Just me!
Old but still awesome. :clap:
I think some of the older crosses are much better than
a great many of the new, sometimes uncertain stuff.
Yeah, I love those twisty streamers too.

Sheen, that's good Stephen. I didn't pickup on that. What I've done in the past is photograph the plants with just the overhead fluorscent lights but in rescent times I've added the light from my cell phone to elmenate shadows from the bottom side. That must be the source of the sheen.

Love it. Can't wait for my multis to flower. Hope any of them turn out to be as nice as this one.

Tom kept saying it wasn't anything special but like you all, I have to disagree. If that last tiny bud makes it there will be 5 flowers.

I'm not always a phil "phan" (yikes...I know), but I love the dustier yellow pouch color of this one! Sometimes the colors of other philippinense flowers don't do it for me...

Very nice Rick
I have a plant from the same cross. The flowers were similar from memory. It has been a dog of a thing to grow. I have flowered it once, many years ago. The main plant rotted but a small division survived and it is now growing well. I expect it may flower later this year.
