Oh, Wow! What a beauty! I'm loving these photos! It's like Christmas morning! Thanks for posting them.
Congratulations on your new son, also. :clap: I remember those days....My son just turned 25, and my twin daughters are about to hit 21! Time really does fly.
the flower will continue expanding over the course of a week or so after it opens. Looking forward to seeing the form on yours. It looks like you have a nice one! I am still hoping for a spike on mine this year. It is big enough now. I have a few kovachii hybrids that are now blooming size!
