A little wonky for me. Like the shape of the pouch.

Interesting… do you know what the cross is?

An interesting old hybrid. Thanks for posting.

Aladin is Atlantis x delenatii. Atlantis is a fairly typical old red/brown complex, but half of its ancestry is unknown. The best Aladin are strong pinks and fuller/flatter than this, but always a little bit wonky.

Nice colors.

Indeed. I like this one because it's light pink and light pink is rarely seen! I've got one of the Vacherot clones in bud.
We'll see...

wonky or not the texture on the petals is very nice.

Oh wow I love this one too. Do you have a large collection? Are some easier to grow than others? If you don't mind could you list just a few for the beginner. I only have one (Hsinying Alien) that I ordered from Ray and It is doing very well.
