Can't assess whether it is the best roth ever or not - but what I see is a extraordinary, high over the average and outstandingly nice roth. Congrats !

lienluu, that is wonderful!
You seem to have a lot of divisions of awarded plants!

Lien has a lot of nice stuff. I'm not a multi fan so I'll just say thanks for sharing. :wink:
Very nice one!
But how to be sure it's the true Mt Millais? Maybe it could be a selfing no? I remember "Roth" who explained the story of Mt Millais some years ago.
And when I'm looking at the Flowers from "Roth" http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20672&highlight=rothschildianum , I find yours is different in color and shape no?

Based on these few photos I think they look pretty similar.
Only the providence of the plant will prove its identity.
If its not MM is damned good anyway.

Of course, a selfing will be often very similar to its mother plant.
For me, this one is a little less colored than the "Roth's plant" and the petals less horizontal.
But maybe I have too much imagination! Or maybe is it just the difference in culture method.
I ask just the question. Roth, do you have an idea about this plant?

To me they are the same until proved otherwise. I agree the colors are less intense then in Xavier's division but you know Xavier has some complicated feeding programs going on. The color differences could be a simple matter of blooming temperatures. The cooler grown, the more color intensities bloomed.

Beautiful, well done. I like that the background is so close to white, it really makes the stripes stand out. Some roths have a background that is yellow, which makes for a darker, less bold flower. MM is really a fine roth.
As for other photos, photoshop, or any image processing, can shift colors somewhat, intentionally or accidentally. So when looking at a computer screen, I always remember that things may look quite different in person.
