Very intense coloring and big flowers, for a Renanthera. This is it's first blooming.

What a show! Lovely picture.
The more of these that I see, the more convinced I become that it is time to get a few, .... Time to shop!

You will do well with these. They love warmth and bright light.

Nice Dot. This is one of the first orchids I can remember seeing from early childhood. Somehow my dad always managed to coax a few flowers out one growing on a relatively cold windowsill back in NY state 40 or so years ago.

Question - how big are the flowers? I remember this one to have very modest sized ones, not large for the genus, maybe no more than a couple inches high.

Beautiful. Those are big flowers for a monachica. Might be awardable?

When I said that, I was thinking of the size of the segments, not the overall size. Thanks for letting me clarify.
