This is the first of the recent imports to bloom. The plant almost didn't make it due to rough housing by inspection upon its import. First inflorescence blasted, but this one took. Unfortunately, the pollinea was not viable, so we crossed one flower with a Why Not/nodosa cross, hence why the flower on left collapsed. (hoping it took )

Not that big, about 5.5" across. It should be larger once its well established.
