Default Second time around, Rhycostylis Gigantea Red

This is a beautiful waxy, deep cranberry red with a spicey fragrance. This one also bloomed earlier in summer.

Ah! That's a beautiful Rhyncho, Don! Did you use flash light? The color seems a little bit lighter than mine and I believe that effect was caused by the flash light, right?

Hi Mauro. No flash light but I was located in the sun room on the south side of the house. No direct sun tho. I really like this one. I also have the Rhynco Gigantea Rotusa that bloomed earlier in the year but not a second time like this one.

Fantastic Don!

That's amazing that you can bloom this guy so frequently. I have only seen mine bloom in the winter...in fact my alba is in spike now, with nothing showing on my red one yet.

Well done, and thanks for sharing!

Hi David - This is the first time it has bloomed twice in one year, usually only once. However, the rotusa has only bloomed once. Thanks for the comments.
