I'm waiting for a response from the grower of this plant, but in the meantime thought I would post some pictures and see if anybody can help me with the identity of it. It has 3 spikes with 4 flowers on one, 2 on another and 1 on the last. 7 flowers in total. Plant measures approx. 16 inches tall by 14 inches wide.(Was divided just prior to me purchasing). Flowers are approx 4 - 4 1/2 inches across. Was very fragrant initally, still has some fragrance after about 2 weeks. Hausermann cross has been suggested. Any ideas or is this mission impossible. Thanks for looking.

I don't have a clue as to the name but it sure is pretty.

A name would be nice but whether or not this can be identified you have some beautiful flowers to look at!

Could it be related to Lc. Shellie Compton?

Looks farily close to it LugiaLover, but as commented on, guess it will be pretty much impossible to know for sure unless the grower does happen to respond to my email. Thanks all for looking.

Think this pretty much looks like it hope it helps. Was googling for Lc. Shellie Compton and ran across this.
