A lovely kovachi x schlimii cross that has bloomed well. It did have three spikes but I removed one when a bud blasted. Unfortunately the two blooms didn't last very long ( 2 days ) they where attacked by young slugs which I have never experienced before. Anyhow I was fortunate enough to take a pic before the mishap.
