Slc Red Jewel
 
Bought this from Santa Barbara orchid estate. I almost killed it. It flowered again last April after a 2 year hiatus. It grew all summer after I added some sphagnum into the pebble based mix. it seems to like it, now it is giving me three petite colorful blooms.

Enjoy
Andrew

Great looking flowers :) Just looked at the parentage; as it appears, almost 63% Soph. coccinea in this; spot on with the moss; coccinea in particular likes to be kept moist, but not wet. How large is the plant height-wise? Looks like it fits comfortably in the mini-Catt category..?
Thanks for sharing!

A mini-Catt for sure
The Whole plant with pot is about 7 inches tall. It is in a 4 inch pot.
Thanks for the research

Mr. Flexdc,

It looks like two years was worth the wait. Wonderful results.

I see where you are in a zone 10 which is great for a species which loves the high light. How do you think a plant like this would do in a zone 6?

Respectfully,

T.H.
