tranlienianum 'Weitas Creek' HCC x 'Minion #12' AM

[tnyr5]

A bit small & shame about the divot, but it's definitely Minion's kid. Very dark without the typical washing out of color near the petal tips, & the pictoee is real, not a reflection of light. Sorry, too much going on right now to pull out the Nikon.

Up until now, I have not been impressed by that species, but yours is striking.

Nice. Photo is excellent!

Congrats!
Love this miniature species! The backside of the flower is very interesting too IMO--it curles back like the spicerianum.

What a stunner! How would I go about obtaining a tranlieanum this spectacular? Is it just a crapshoot? Could this a polyploid situation? It’s the biggest tranlieanum flower I have ever seen.

The leaves look big to me too.

The flower is leaning forward closer to the camera. Tony can tell us how the size compares to the average.

Correct, just a trick of perspective. It's typical tranlienianum size, about 6.7cm NS.

Here ya go, but remember this photo is a real one with a real camera showing real colors and the one above is a crappy washed-out cell pic. They're closer than the difference lets on.
