Hey Joe,
The color is closer to the first pic. I not much of a photographer...so I took photos with/without flash and with/without the florescent lights on. Its really amazing how fast things change with the flower. The lip had almost "grooves" on each side indenting the pouch. They are almost gone/filled out now. The size of the flower as of this writing is roughly 3 3/4 in wide and 3 1/2 in high from sepal to pouch. Since it seems to favor the kavachii side...I hope it doesnt start reflexing as the bloom matures. Either way I love it.
