I can see why it won. It's not my favorite multifloral species, but even I can see that it's a very good quality representative of the species. Congratulations.

Really REALLY nice! Love those twisty petals and that dorsal is absolutely gorgeous. I have a praestans var. gardineri that I hope will look at least half as pretty as yours when it flowers.
What is the leaf span of yours?

Between twisty petals I have a span of 6 inches, the second flower is even prettier, I'll try and get a pic of it later today.
