First time bloomer, purchased from TOF. I've got a bunch of expansums that are about to bloom, so I'll update with pics as they do. This one is about 3.5" across, and there were 6 flowers on the spike.

Oooh, that's a real beauty! Expansum is one of my real favorites - the many color forms are all wonderful.

Bruno, "green" expansum is quite common but "not very desirable" by most growers (most people prefer "trendy" colored flowers), however I must admit that the pastel tones almost tending to white on this plant is something I have not seen very often

...and I join the motion: I would like to see all others too
