FVGardens, in BC . First bloom, 6 years from flask...

 

[Hien]

looks like it could get a high award, color, form, balance , everything are there in one package. Not any flaw that I can detect

 

[Ozpaph]

its very nice but the furled dorsal is a flaw

Ah ha, another fine photograph. I'm beginning to
look forward to your pics of whatever the subject.

Sorry, but this seems to me like bean counting on a very high level.

What a nice, aureum beauty! And cudos for the good and patient growing!

And migtn't Ozpaph and Guru both be right from different perspectives? Ozpaph regarding judging (which some would consider 'bean counting on a high level'? ) /awardability. GuRu in a more general sense, as it is a damn nice flower to look at!

Will btw be interesting to see, whether this trait is also present in the folllowing flowerings...or being specific for this first time blooming?

Kind regards, Jens

Thank you, you're too kind!

my comment was in relation to the "high award" suggestion - the furling would probably be a 'fatal flaw' in Oz. It wouldnt be awarded.
That has nothing to do with it being a nice flower.
