    I don't remember how long the flowers last, so I'm not waiting for the other buds to open. The flower is 6" from tip to tip. Growing intermediate with moderately bright light.

    What kind of light (bright, shady) are you growing yours in? I have mine in fairly bright light. I found a few species (angulifera, filaria) that bloom much darker if given brighter light. I have another clone of antonii that I bloomed a while back in shadier conditions, but I don't remember the color and I didn't take a picture.

    I grow mine under a few flourescent lights so it´s rather dark.
    Here´s what mine looks like. Though the pink/purple came through a bit stronger in the photo then what it really was.

    Yours looks like it is a better shape, fuller and not so cuppy between the caudae. Your plants look great. I'll see how the other buds on my plant turn out.
