This is a first bloom seedling, that I got from Peter Lin, it had two spikes when it arrived a few weeks ago (maybe a month ago... but I can't remember off the top of my head!), but I broke the tip off one of the spikes,
so now, I only have one active spike, with one flower
it's been open for a week, wanted to see if it was gonna develop more fragrance. I do like it, but I can't help but think that if it were not as 'faded', it would be sooo cool! (it must be the micholitzii in it's background that makes the color faded, as far as I can tell, that's what that species does sometimes... please correct me if I'm wrong?) The form is great, its a little cupped, but I don't really consider that a bad thing in this case... Oh, and it smells like roses, but its very faint.
A question, for u hybridizers out there (I'm curious, b/c I have a few seedlings that will be first bloom's, and a couple flasklings now too... so I like to try to imagine what everything is gonna look like, haha) how much do/can flowers change btwn first blooms, & second & third blooms (size, color, smell...etc.) if at all?
There are some pics that I took w/o the flash, they are more accurate to what it looks like in real life; and there are ones I took with flash, that appear really brightly colored... it seemed to just bring out the natural coloring, but not as faded looking as it is in real life, its kinda funny what the flash did to it! (the colors are still accurate, just brighter than they r able to be in natural light... could it be brighter if given more light next time?
) Thanks for looking!
EDIT: Sorry for the long post!
(I'm a curious person lol) ... Also not sure what happened with the one sideways pic, wasn't like that 'till I attached it!
