I'm just drooling at the flowers :drool:

Is it a first flowering? An easy or a reluctant bloomer?

All good to me. I have one of those, from Rattecliffe I believe. Can you show the whole plant please?

#3 is out. #1 is nice because of the front-on shot of the one flower, but the one behind is hidden. #2 doesn't have a nice front-on shot, but two flowers can be seen nicely, so I'd go for that one. All are well photographed, though.

I have to agree with Kevin

Heck mine has 2 huge growths but nothing like that. Do you want to baby-sit it for a while?

It's a crazy plant, Eric. You can see that it bloomed once before. Both time, it sent up one of those funky blooms I think Charles talked about, and then the main spike came up and turned out quite nice. My guess is once yours decides to bloom, it will be a happy bloomer.

Thanks for posting Dot! I have never seen this cross, so it is nice to see what it looks like. Personally I like your picture # 2 the best, it looks more "artistic", and you can see all 3 flowers, but picture #1 is more a "professional" picture, one that I probably would use if I would post a picture on the web for our website, or for in a magazine. The reason is that you can see at least one flower "face on". #3 is my least favorite, because it gives the false impression that the dorsal is flat, and you cannot see the staminodal shield.

#2, for the same reasons as above. :clap:

Interesting. Thanks, everyone. It was a difficult plant to photograph, as the two flowers were close behind one another, with the 3rd way off in no-man's-land. I appreciate the feedback.
