Marvelous - great color

Spectacular flower...photo...everything!
Drool...drool...!
Dang, I think I need one!:~)

Stunning photo!

I love the color, is it fragrant? ~Charm

Hi Charm, would have been a nice addition, but no fragrance.

Beautiful colored bloom. Love the lip. I'd love to see a pic of the entire plant too!

Hello Sheila, If you are looking in I have photographed the entire plant, but as you will see, no detail in the individual flowers. Much to my amazement I cut through the rhizome at the back of the plant just in front of a small back bulb in the spring, the bulb has produced a growth which in turn has produced a very small spike! You can just see it in the picture. Peter

Yes, I see the new spike. What a healthy plant! Of course it's rewarding you with beautiful blooms! You're not only a good grower, but a good photographer as well. I love this photo.

Sheila :)

Love the color on the blooms- awesome indeed!

I think I have one of these, but it hasn't bloomed yet. What a perfect study in contrasting colors. Very nice.
