Default A Beginners Plant

This is definitely one that you would recommend for a beginner. It quickly grows to specimen size. This one has twenty four spikes with open flowers and several buds yet to bloom. It is growing in a ten inch shallow bulb type pot in medium tree fern. It is a reliable Christmas bloomer and is always in bloom at this time of year. Sorry it isn't red.

Outsanding, Jerry.

I should be so lucky! Mine took 2&1/2 yrs. to bloom which it just recently started to do...first time, 5 blooms with 3 more spikes growing. I'm not able to provide it enough light where I'm currently growing, is why and thought I'd have to wait until I moved it to brighter conditions...so, I'm not complaining except....I sure wish mine looked like yours.

Congrats on a great job with yours.

Here's my Bc. Maikai...
