That is indeed a beauty. I would put a lock and chain on it. :>)

I love the colors on this beauty.

I had this in England though it didn't live very long. It's certainly very spectacular. Rawdon Jester is actually a hybrid of grande and williamsonianum. I had the pleasure to meet the hybridiser, Alan Long, once. It's called Rawdon because his company Mansell & Hatcher is in Rawdon near Leeds. Good growing - as always. Ian.

Now they are all open. This plant was slow in blooming but has bloomed every year for the last 3 years. At first it was 3 flowers but has increased every year to the present 7.
