Ascocenda My Michele
My own cross, and unless someone else remade it, it's the only plant existing. Flowers are 4+ inches across.
At others' suggestion, I just "selfed" it, but it's kind of late in its flowering, so we'll see what happens.

Wow, it's a wonderful one. Great work, and if it's the only plant you really should try and reproduce it.
