Not bad in terms of color and form. Size at 10.8 cm HNS could be larger, but it's a single growth so it has good potential.

Nice shape. Do you know the parents? Also, do I detect a bit of a white halo around the center? I have been seeing it often in several of my kovachii hybrids. Mike

A very nice one Tom!
Love the color and no reflexed petals. Do you think
the dorsal will straighten out either as the bloom
or the plant matures?

Yay besseae hybrids! Thanks for sharing.
Not sure whether the dorsal will straighten out or not, Angela . There's one more bud coming though, so that should tell us something.
Mike,
The plant came originally from Ecuagenera a couple years ago, so there's no parentage info., but given the shape of the flower I'd think P. kovachii was the capsule parent. We've also seen that "halo" in several of the FS clones and wonder whether it could be due to some environmental change during bud maturation. Anyone else seen this in their Fritz Schomburgs?
Beautiful
sits beautifully

I have noticed this is a trait that sometimes appears on the flowers of one of my Fritz Schomburgs that looks similar to this one (strong kovachii influence, light pink color) That plant also came from Ecuagenera. Here's an example from 2017
Other bloomings, it's more like a central lightening of the flower . Like 2018:
I have occasionally seen this as well in my Tupac Amaru (Peruflora's Cirila Alca x kovachii) from Ecuagenera as well. You can vaguely see it in this picture:
I have not noticed this trait in my orange Frirz Schomburg.
that one you could almost mistake for a besseae, but for the size:
Wow love that flower!

That's a stunning bloom. I only have seedling of this grex, made with besseae var flavum as a parent.
Nice.
Excellent, Tom!
I'll take it!
