Sophronitis cernua
Have had this for 4-5 years and it has bloomed every year in the last 3. This is the first year it has bloomed with four flowers. I couldn't get a picture that shows all 4. Last year it was 3 blooms and before that it was 2. The orange is very bright.

That's so well captured, just wonderful. And so red! This is a hard one for me and I've had two die in my care. I'll just admire everyone elses.

This is a great species and yours is really nice! I'm still kicking myself for selling this one when I left Hawaii.

Beautiful!!  I really miss mine when I see nice pics like this. I had it nearly 3 years, but it died last summer from a lightning fast case of rot.
