Congratulations!
I think these are just amazing and wonderful, even more so than a picture can express. Of course, the pictures aren't terrible. I use pictures of mine for my computer and phone backgrounds.
Just an update for my own future reference- this flower started to droop today, and I think it's about done. It's gone back to the triangular folded look it had just before it opened.
So it was open from February 19 to March 2. Not bad- 13 days fully open!
