In this paper we consider
generic orbits for the action of a maximal torus T in a connected semisimple
algebraic group G on the generalized flag variety G∕P, where P is a parabolic
subgroup of G containing T. The union of all generic T-orbits is an open dense
(possibly proper, if P is not a Borel subgroup) subset of the intersection of the
big cells in G∕P. We prove that the closure of a generic T-orbit in G∕P
is a normal equivariant T-embedding (whose fan we explicitely describe).
Moreover, the closures of any two generic T-orbits are isomorphic as equivariant
T-embeddings.
