Your plant is definitely not Galtonia viridiflora
Neither is it Phosphorus manure. ;)


Slugkiller - Apologies. I should have created a new subject.

No problem John :)

My flower (that's the waterlily for anyone still confused :D) is about six inches across max.

Dave,
        Back to your original question it looks very much like James Brydon, I used to have it but I think the Koi disturbed it to much.

We can definitely rule out James brydon. JB has near globular flowers that are slightly smaller than 15 cm and are more uniform in colour.
The diameter points at Attraction so does the fact that the outer petals are lighter in colour.
I post a (not very good pic of Attraction and two of JB at different stages.
