Please critique my plant. It is a first bloom Magic Lantern. The NS=9.1cm...Thank you!

It looks like it might not be open all the way? The petals are a little droopy at the top. Also looks like there is a color break on the pouch. I have seen much deeper colored Magic Lanterns, but this color could be darker perhaps if grown cooler? Other than that the markings are nice.

I think the markings are very nice, it's very uniform & proportion is good.
I'd have to agree with Teresa, a dark color would give it the WOW factor! What were your low temps at?

:iagree: With both of you!!

I also think the flower is not fully "matured" yet, other than that I think it has nice colors and markings.

Is this a first bloom seedling? I believe this plant would not be selected for judging, unless it was significantly larger. The flower may be cupped, the petals are uniform and even, but not rounded. The color is average, and there is some color break on the pouch.

Give the bloom a little longer, or present it on a stronger plant at a susequent blooming.

That being said, blooming anything is worth celebrating!

Still too young!
