very nice. vendor jim rice in upstate ny used to have these, and club member had a nice one and the culture was always 'cool and bright', especially in the winter. I hadn't remembered that the flowers were so red; thought they were more green. always liked this species but never tried to get one because of the whole 'cool and bright' thing which I can't usually pull off growing under lights

the foliage is very light green, and the plants are very solid

Regarding the colour, the sepals and petals are much lighter and greenish when the flower first opens but darken significantly as the flower age. The flower last a relatively long time. The flowers on the on the right of the photo have been open for nearly a month.
