Tropical Hibiscus
I know, not an orchid, that's why it is in this sub-forum.
Had a discussion about tropical plants in general with my tenant, and he mentioned multi-colored tropical Hibiscus. Big mistake. I managed to resist the temptation for a couple of weeks. Then I decided to get a couple.
Now I have 30+.
The most spectacular bloom yet opened today (Quiet Energy, from Hidden Valley Hibiscus). When it first opened, the flower was a solid 8" across; by the end of the day, it was 9". Photo does not really show how impressive it is, the eye is a dark burgundy red.
