First bloom magic
This is Magic Melody x Mari's Magic which will undoubtedly get the name Magic Magic when someone gets around to registering the cross -LOL.
I got this seedling (1 of 3) from SVO in late October (still for sale as of 1/23/22). Probably in sheath or just maturing the new pbulb when it arrived, but I take full credit for the spike which appeared in the sheath in December. I cut off the second bud as soon as it cleared the sheath and once the bud started opening I put the plant in a covered translucent tote-box for 100% humidity. This is the bud that was blowing raspberries at me with the frilly lip sticking out of the bud for three weeks prior to opening.
The flower is 3.5 inches across. The first day, it opened greatly curled back-reflexed, and then last evening it was cupped, and today, midday it seems to have stabilized. The colors were Minnesota Viking purple and yellow on cream until today where the purple has expanded and become more of a dark fuchsia.
