Older cross, I got this one approx. 25 years ago from a nurseryman named Chapman. He'd set up a booth at a local flea market and had tons of these, ranging from deep pinks through salmon to orange and into deep lavenders. There were a few reds; this was the deepest of them. In life, it looks as red as blood.
I wasn't looking for an orchid that day, poor thing had to come home strapped to the front forks of my motorcycle and it was a chilly day.
I almost lost it in a severe cold snap several years ago that took out quite a few plants. Seems all better now. It's a very easy grower, mid sized, throws multiple leads quickly. Flowers are fragrant during the day. Plant currently has 16 3 1/2- 4" flowers/buds on 3 leads.
