Lovely color -- nice one!

 

[Rick]

Nice symmetry too.

How big is the plant?

that is a good one

 

[NYEric]

Yay besseae! Old school type.

 

[abax]

Please explain "old school type" Eric. I think it's lovely and
so very RED!

 

[jtrmd]

Nice symmetry too.

How big is the plant?

Its about 4 growths, and guess around a 12'' leaf span. I have had it awhile, but never get around to posting it. It bet it would be more than 4 growths, if I haven't hacked all the runners, or old growths off. If I remember correctly it was ''OLD'' OZ breeding that The Little Greenhouse here in Baltimore got in flask.

I think Eric wants to say this is quite different from the almost round modern besseae breeding.

Lovely bloom and photo.

Yep. You almost don't see this type shape in USA any more.

Thats why I have hung on to it so long.
