Default Renanthera monachica 'Tonto'

I have had this plant over 10 years and it's still only 18 inches tall with pot. It has two keikis and all three are blooming with spikes. Some flowers blasted with the cool nights but most opened. It's a good growing species and rewards with stunning orangy blooms with red spotting every spring/summer. Grown in a 3 inch clay pot with bark/perlite, inserted into a plastic container. Sprayed daily and fed weakly. South light.

Still looking for one of these. The closest I have right now, is a cross with Ren citrina, and that plant still has some growing up to do.
