Taking all into consideration I would put the odds fairly high that
you really have Wabash.
An extremely fresh flower -- will give very dark, intense coloration
compared to a mature bloom.
A very fresh flower will not have expanded to its full growth -- it
will be flaring and the falls will be more rounded than in the mature
flower.
When stressed, or doing poorly, Wabash will do a very good imitation
of a Miniature Tall Bearded.
All in all I would say, be comfortable that you really have Wabash. I
will dig through my slide library and post a scan of Mini Wabash and
also Bumblebee Deelite so you can see where those who thought your cv
might have been a wrongo were heading.
Cheers,
Mike
