Default C. maxima
I bought this plant a little under a year ago,so this is the first time I have seen it bloom. I really like the soft lavender color of this one....almost pink. Before the buds opened, they were so light, I thought I might have grabbed a mis-labeled alba. But then it started to get it's ever so soft color.

If I straighten the petals and sepals, they are about 4" from the tip of the dorsal sepal to the tip of the lateral sepals.
