This is definitely one that you would recommend for a beginner. It quickly grows to specimen size. This one has twenty four spikes with open flowers and several buds yet to bloom. It is growing in a ten inch shallow bulb type pot in medium tree fern. It is a reliable Christmas bloomer and is always in bloom at this time of year. Sorry it isn't red.
