I thought that the bud would take a week longer to open,but it opened less than a day after the bud split. I think the flower form is more Phrag kavachii and the color is closer to the solid colors of Phrag St. Ouen. Either way..I am so happy it finally "arrived"

Really nice! It definitely has some kovachii influence, particularly in the tepals and (I would imagine) the size. As for color, it looks more like kovachii in the second pic and more like Saint Ouen in the other two (which photo is closest to the actual color?).

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.
