WOW that's pretty! I'm glad I opened it.

The flowers are amazing. Lovely colour and shape as well as the petal stance. A low flower count for a philipinense though, especially given the size of the plant.

Other than lots of growths is this plant really that big since laevegatum is considered pretty stumpy by phili standards?

If the plant itself is "compact" the big red flowers may be a good trade off for fewer flowers per spike.

It's definitely unique.
 
The flowers are definitely above average for this plant in what I've seen and they stand out by being above the leaves. The colours are rich and the petals are more horizontal than others. Will it throw more flowers per spike as the plants size increases?

Cracking show.

You are probably right Rick. I have a compact phillipinense with a similar petal stance (although nowhere near as good) and I have never gotten more than 3 flowers either. It must just go with the territory with this group.
