    I think it opens a bit more but not much. It's a small species just a little larger than S rapax.

    Ah yes. Looks like I missed an 'a'. Believe it or not I know how to spell this one. If someone with power can mod the title I would be eternally grateful.

    Don't worry about it, Harry. We all make that kind of mistake once in a while.

    How did you measure the flower? Mine is significantly bigger than 1/8"

    Honestly Tom, I guess at it so tomorrow I will measure it. I'm usually pretty good at estimates but this one could well be incorrect.

    Well it's only twice as large as I estimated. Guess I better take my rule with me from now on. I edited the initial post. Thanks Tom.

    Neat, neat little flower, Harry. Very cool.

    Wonderful pictures, very interesting flower. I can't make a good picture of so little item.
    I'm curious to see all the plant.

    I just got this plant about 2 months ago. It has grown a couple of leaves since this picture.
