One thing interesting about this form is that the spur is very much longer than the typical form and the bloom itself is about 1/4-1/3 the size. In fact it is almost U. jamesoniana-like at first glance.
 
Nice pics! Is that a plain whirl?

LOL. Couldn't tell you, I am not much of a fingerprint buff. All my right hand prints are the ying-yang type. My left hand is all bull's eye type except for my index which is the peak/mountain-type
 
That's funny...I was going to make a comment about the fingerprints myself. lol

That is really a beautiful and interesting flower.
 
Hi Pyro,

Nice pics congrats! Very interesting what you said about it looking somewhat like U.jamesoniana, because both species grow together on Duida! I wonder if your plants originate from the population I found there ~3 years ago on the N slopes of Duida? I wouldn't be surprised if there were hybrids in that population...

Best Wishes,
Fernando Rivadavia
