Sophronitis coccinea
This plant was in the New World Orchids display at the 2010 Tokyo Grand Prix and I purchased it from Glenn that year.
I almost lost this plant to rot until "Mini-Catts" advised me to treat it more like a Cattleya (which technically it is now). I re-potted in bark and it saved my plant.
Last night it was awarded "Best Grown" in my local orchid society.
12 blooms, 1 bud on an 8 inch plant. Average bloom spread is 2-1/2 inches.
Cheers.

That looks awesome !! So bright.
I've always been afraid of getting a coccinea for fear of killing it. Maybe I'll take the plunge.
Is that "just" an S. coccinea, or is it a selection or meristem?
