This is the third blooming for this one...unusual colour combo!

Todd, that is so elegant! I love the color! Is this one that likes cooler temps? :(

Hi Paul,
This is a primary hybrid of Odm. bictoniense x Ada. keiliata, both Brazilian species. When it really gets going it is a profuse bloomer!
Bought mine in spike last fall so am waiting to see what's going to happen this year. So far, lots of new growth.

Please excuse the poor picture. Got this plant from a green house and I think it had been picked up, looked at, and put down so many times it didn't know which way was up....so to speak.

Definitely a unique combination of colors, with that burgundy and that orange. It looks great. :bowing

Sue, it does seem to prefer cooler temps.

:bua: I knew you were going to say that!

That's an unbelievable flower. :drool: I must have one - that fiery hot lip, those sensual, dark chocolate petals... it's the kind of flower that men fight duels over, that schoolboys draw in the margins of their homework, that people run off to Vegas with... :gasp:

Excuse me. I have to go write its name all over my arm with a marker pen now. I think I'm in love.
