Sophronitis wittigiana
 

A much anticipated flowering. This under incandescent lighting. Flowers expand after they open like a balloon! From Diamond Orchids.

Wow, Bayard! Could we see the whole plant? Stunning.

Thanks! I'll try tomorrow in natural light.

That is a beauty! No wonder you were anticipating it!

What a beauty! The color is amazing.

Thanks! Check out my other post in natural light.

Gorgeous flower!! I'm always amazed how sometimes the tiniest of plants produce such large showy flowers.

I had bought one of these some years ago, but sadly it died of rot one rainy summer before I ever got to see it bloom...

Fantastic bloom & color...worth the wait ;)

I dont see any photo thought. How did you all managed to see it? :|
