Not necessarily. It could be due just to clonal variations. I've seen colored bellatulum with less than 5 cm across.
My albino bellatulum was reported to be a division from clonal expansion of a large form produced in the Orchid Zone Nursery in the U.S. I'm expecting its performance once it sets a flower bud.
Although 5.8 is slightly disappointing, your clone is quite a good form. If it is its first bloom, there's still a room for improvement. After all, Hong Kong is a place where orchid competitions are neither popular, nor being taken seriously, at least when compared to somewhere around the globe such as the U.S, Taiwan, or Japan. So it's my view that it doesn't matter how the clone looks like. The only thing to care is you like it! |
