Thanks - it’s really hard to capture the color. They glow!

Well, you captured it fairly well, because I can see the "glow." Can only imagine what in-person would look like... ya gotta wear shades?

That is a really spectacular show. Just out of curiosity, is that one a 4n?

Thanks again for the comments!
Roberta - I’m pretty sure the plant is 4N.
One of the parents is a plant that the breeder Peter Lin acquired in Japan he named ‘Tokyo Mini’. The flowers are smaller than other coccineas, and Peter has said that it represents a new line of breeding from Japan. The other parent is ‘SVO’ which I assume comes from Sunset Valley Orchids.
When I presented my plant for judging they gave it an HCC/AOS, because most coccineas seen these days are in the three inch plus range. My plant just didn’t measure up, but as we all know, size isn’t everything...
