Got this plant about this time last year from Alfredo Manrique. Not the greatest flower quality, but what it lacks in segments it makes up for in floriferous and color! 36 flowers on two spikes. Enjoy

While waiting for the image, Adam, is this a new one after you gave away your really nice dark colored one to someone who moved to Europe??

I have now three Jumbo Cooper x cooperi as I couldn't find cooperi.
None has flowered yet, but as long as one of them turns out like a nice dark chocolate colored cooperi, I will be very happy!

This one looks just as dark as your old one to me.
Perhaps better flower power or is this an older plant?
 
Yes!
I don't see anyone selling this species, but I have three hybrids with 3/4 cooperi, so I hope one of them will look like this. :)
