Very red. looks a lot like a MD

 

[Susie11]

Ooh, that's a nice one.

 

[NYEric]

Yay besseae hybrids! I have to see if I have any of these left.

 

[tomkalina]

Great color and great photo!

 

[Ruth]

Very nice color and photo is great! You can see all the little fuzzy hairs on it

 

[John M]

Awesome colour!

 

[W. Beetus]

Nice curl to the petals!

 

[SlipperFan]

I wish the Inca Fire's I've seen were really that red!

 

[JeanLux]

Yes, really red !!!! Jean

This is the original photo I started from. The camera was in Auto mode. No flash. I only increased the brightness and tweaked the sharpness button. The photo was taken in early morning light. If I did anything wrong, you tell me! And so far as I can tell, the flower looks the same. I also looked at other pictures of Inca Fire and didn't find anything out of whack with mine.

I might have to visit for some culture education. You have been on fire this year with the blooms.

not every monitor is equal...

I can't use aussie gold all the way through like Mike, because I grow with the pots 1/4 in water but he seems to have the culture down, and then living down the road from JP Faust!...

Clark! You will be welcomed any time. And this will give me a very good reason to clean up the house. :rollhappy:

My culture is very similar to semi-hydro with the difference that I use Aussie Gold instead of clay pebbles. My biggest plants of paphs and phrags are grown in pots that have a reserve of water at the bottom. (And you'll be welcomed too if you decide to pay a visit, and this applies to everyone on this forum.)

Nothing wrong with your photo, Michel. I probably wasn't very clear. What I was trying to say was that the Inca Fire's I've seen in person weren't a very good red -- kind of washed out and dull. If I'd seen one like this, I'd have one now. I don't.

My color perception is O.K. then. Phew!
