I guess I should have been more specific. I did mean the thick, waxy, glossy looking flowers. The type that when you photograph them, they reflect light like glass.
There are a ton of hybrids out there that are red, but they all seem to have these waxy blooms.
What I meant by silky blooms is like the big floofy pink and white phals you see everwhere. When you feel the bloom it is soft and thin like silk. Most of the harlequins I have seen lean more towards a maroon splotchy color.
I have some phals that have blooms that are in between the silky thin blooms and the waxy thick ones. They are a little waxy, but don't have the glossy look to them.
So to clarify, I am looking for a phal that blooms without glossy, waxy blooms that is candy apple red. The shape of the bloom doesn't matter really. Does it exist?
