Hi Johan,
You have done well, how long has it taken to flower. I had it for about 5 years and eventually I lost interest and it died.

Beautiful flower! I don't know anything about this species and it's family but took seeds from a strange plant in Tibet in 2009. This year it flowered with a dark pink color and I found it was Inc. zhongdianensis. So it flowered in its second year. Now there are nice growing seedpods on the plants.

Johan,
Perhaps you could reveal the secret of its cultivation.

Hi Johan, as far as I know this is the first Incarvillea lutea which flowered in cultivation.
Well done :)
Hope you are able to collect seeds of this "free flowering" clone!
