Phragmipedium “Red Lightening” in bloom
 

Hello all, here’s my beautiful “Red Lightening” in bloom as of last night. I hope the third bud will open before the first drops off but either way it is a stunning plant. I have it in an orchidarium with humidity ranging between 65 and 75 percent, fyi, to help the twisty-ness to develop. They atpre about 10” long right now.

What a great color on the pouch.

It is a really nice plant, for sure. I think the next fan is a couple of years from being ready to bloom so I am trying to enjoy this spike to the fullest before it fades :-)

That's a beauty!
