This is one which open 2 days ago. Just a pity that I managed to kill two of the three flower buds the plant had. It seems VERY sensitive to any change in conditions when budding. I moved the plant to a different location in the greenhouse, just before the buds opened such that my partner would see it while I was away. Unfortunately the flowers did not open while I was away and two of the three buds fell off.

WOW !!! That flower looks amazing. Forget about the 2 other buds not opening. This bloom makes up for it. The color is beautiful and I find the flower very elegant. Congrats on the bloom !!!!

Great Look. Sad to see you lost the lot of them, but I'd take the one that survived any day!
