This is the solid red colour variety of speciosa. Took the flowers 8 months to develop from the start of a spike... a test of patience for sure but totally worth it!! Notice in pics the flared hood above the anther cap and the tough ball of white hair on tip of lip, distinguishable features of this species.

I am not a big fan of most phals.... BUT this one was love at first sight. I simply think it's spectacular and yours is truly beautiful.

How does speciosa culture differ from other species? Is it grown similarly to amboinensis, bellina, violacea?

Thanks all! This species has a nice appeal! The contrast between the red tepals with the white hairy lip is striking. Culture is same as violacea. I grow mine along with the violacea indigos with 18C nights...

Wonderful, Leslie! Do you happen to know the origin/history of this individual?
