sophronitis grandiflora
Grown in intermediate conditions, 1st. time blooming.
The flower is indeed "grand", in comparison with another sophronitis coccinae I have blooming right now.

Beautiful color. The lip and throat are sooooo cool. Love the yellow accents. How large are the blooms? And where did you find this? Really nice!

Those yellow stripes in the throat really are great. So is this flower larger than coccinea?

Thank you all. Hopefully I'll have time to take a pic. of my coccinea later this week. It's about 1 1/2x the size of that one. I bought both of them from Hawaiian Botanicals in B.C. I believe they export as well.
