[ehanes7612]

any guesses to what this is?, two flowers on a large plant (LS 24 inches), dark chocolate coloring...flowers are the size of a wilhelminae flowers, could by Lyro Blackhawk

My guess would be Lyro Blackhawk.

Does Lyro Blackhawk have leaves that big?

st swithin is one of the parents in Lyro Blackhawk...so i imagine it could...the low flower count is disappointing but the flowers are superwaxy and tissue buildup is definitely much thicker at the striping

Nice. Lyro Blackhawk seems a good match.

Here is one of the two I've bloomed. Both were smaller plants then yours.

Having phillipinense in the mix means there could be a fair amount of variation in plant size. I've never seen a William Ambler that looks like this. As I can see phillipinense in the flower I'm happy to stick with Lyro Blackhawk.

Very true with how phil influences plant size. I would guess Lyro Blackhawk too. Nice plant!
