With philippinense parent, the flowers develop over some time (in the photo you cannot see the tip of the inflorescence). I do not recall how many flowers it produced in the end. And, the plant was lost in a December 2017 freeze, so I do not have it any longer.
I took the plant to AOS judging back in 2015. One of the judges told me afterwards, that they would have awarded it 'if all the flowers had been open'. With philippinense parent that is of course an impossibility.
