I think it's more like velvet maroon or red fantasy.
Sweet berry has very dark color with just hint of red. I'd say mostly dark brownish. also the flower shape is much skinnier with highly twisted petals and sepals. The lip is usually orange or brown but much brighter color than sepals and petals. |

hmm - mine does the same - 'Sweet Fragrance' cultivar - had white lips when I got it, but recently has bloomed with mostly the darker lips, I suspect due to spike developing in cool temps

After seeing so many pics of this plant on OB lately, I really want one. The other day I saw some at the garden center, but I had only taken enough cash with me to buy hay for the guinea pig. I had time to go back yesterday, and both were already sold!

I have sharry baby 'sweet fragrance' but super gigantic clone. It had a spike that's taller than 4 feet last year. I didnt' measure but it was as tall as I, and I am well over 5 feet. So the spike must have been over 5 feet.
Now that the new growth is almost mature, I am expecting a spike soon. wonder how tall it will be this time. and wonder if there will be a color change.

This is how my new growth looks like. I guess it's close to spiking. I can't wait for it to happen.

Not quite, the bulb hasn't formed yet! I recognize that tag, it's from the Dutch grower Cameleon Orchids. It's a good quality commercial grower.
