Nice deep red flower with a beautiful scent!

Another beauty. I have seen a pic of a white one just last week but I also like the red one.

I'm still trying to find out how tall a rhynchostylis gigantea will become.

How large are they? They don't look too big. Is the plant small as well? Its very beautiful!!

I have 3 gigantea's and this is the smallest one. The plant resembles an ascocenda, though the roots are a bit thicker.
My alba and coral ones are much larger plants, maybe this one is just really young and it will grow larger ?!

Give it time, Laura, and it will get large. Mine is also a baby that bloomed last year for the first time and has more or less 30cm of leaf span.
