Very large 2 growth plant . Over 1m across. Long spike.

That is one of the nicer Temptations I have seen. Really striking flowers. The petals seem longer than most and I love their dark contrasting colour. A nice long stem with well spaced flowers. The plant might be big but it sure is worth the bench space.

What is the breeding behind this one Stephen?

 

[Ozpaph]

No idea. ? from Cape Oasis.

No idea. ? from Cape Oasis.

I have seen those on ebay over the years. I think that might be from their own breeding.

 

[SlipperMatt]

Amazing one! Very similary to Bel Royal, but different colors. I love it!

THat's really nice form I've not seen one this good. I'd snap one up if i saw one.

 

[ksriramkumar]

Nice one.

 

[mrhappyrotter]

Love it!

I hate these are such big plants, because I like the flowers so much. Ended up giving away one of these a long time ago because it simply didn't fit on the shelves without taking up 1/2 a rack to itself.

 

[My Green Pets]

rather menacing, isn't it! like the kind of flower you'd find waiting for you in a dark alley, smoking a cigarette and wearing a leather jacket! lol

Nice flowers count and congrats.

 

[NYEric]

Nice, thanks for sharing.

I think the coloring on this is not common. The greenish pouch is a great contrast to the petals and dorsal.

 

[GuRu]

Lovely flowers, but yes, the plant size is huge, therefore these plant are not really common in collections of hobby growers.

Wow! I think I'd make space in the window for this one. :clap:
