Onc. Sharry Baby 'Red Fantasy'
This one is always a favorite and it smells wonderful. Sitting on my patio, it just perfumes the air.
Interestingly, my photos of this plant from last year show a more uniform red list. This year the lips have a lot of white. Any ideas why that might happen? Varying light? Temp?

Stunning! Perhaps the new variations reflect how well it is being grown! And, so, how happy it is!
I had one I kept dividing.....but I finally hadda send it to the AOS when they still had their uber facility in Delray Beach (tragic they hadda give that up).....cause I knew it would have the best greenhouse home on earth there and could continue to grow as big as it wanted. I miss it.
But mine did not have the clear, vivid colors yours has!!!

Beautiful!
Mine ('Sweet Fragrance') definitely show color difference on the lip with temp differences - Buds developing during warm weather have the expected mostly white-ish with a small burgundy spot lip; buds that develop in cool temps have a solid dark burgundy lip.

I want one again. I wonder what the AOS did with the contents of its Delray Beach greenhouses??
Mine was just too fast growing and kept getting so huge, it was kinda scary. Only cause I only grow indoors, and I can't grow anything which gets huge I can't hang.

That's a lovely colour. Somewhat different than my Sharry Baby.

Wow! thanks for the nomination. I've been learning my camera and trying hard to get pics that show the flower and are interesting. It's not easy!
