The cultivar name is really 'No. 2'.
The colours of it are quite nice - pink/purple/violet colours with some yellow and even some red-orange in the throat.
I included one pic with it next to a Rlc. Village Chief North 'Green Genius', which only started to open up yesterday as well.
The flower actually does have a glitter sparkly effect (seen in many catts) when sunlight is shining on it - but not captured this time with the camera.
A pleasure to share some nice pics with everybody.

Update ----- a photograph taken one day later - with second flower still opening. I had to intervene a bit to move the flower on the right-hand-side a bit, to stop it from crowding the right-hand petal of the left-hand flower.
Update ----- photograph taken two days later - with second flower opened too. The 'helping hands' device is being temporarily used to adjust slightly the position of a lip fold of the left-hand flower. The device only stays in place for 1 or 2 days and is then removed (when the flower part has become 'set' in the new position).
Extra photo - showing that the column does not remain white coloured. The column eventually changes to a violet colour.
