ColorChallenge MondayRed - Ibaguense

[ewkaw]

My reddest orchid! The only red one actually that bloomed for me. And that was last year.
She still has some time this year so I am just waiting. And she keeps growing.

This is Epidendrum Ibaguense a very, very tall one! The long, thin cane must be over 1 metre. Easily! And the from the top a flower spike emerges and it probably another 50 cm.
Soon it will not fit on my window sill.
And I still think she can be taller ;) I saw photos of this type growing in gardens and they were probably taller than an average human.

The flowers are pretty cool eh? Like red angels with boobies ;)

Stunning! Such a lovely specimen to get to bloom! My wife loves her orchids, I'm not trusted with them!

[ewkaw]

Thank you :)
You must be the professional orchid killer then.

Beautiful flower, I love the dark background, really shows off the flower!

[ewkaw]

Thanks a lot! The camera hates that colour though..

[vtravels]

Seems to love it from where I am!

The first pic looks like shes an evil master mind trying to conquer the world... Then she retired and lived a peaceful life in your balcony...

[ewkaw]

Hope she doesn't want to get back to that evil form... I like her now :)
