My richeri (amazonica) is blooming again. The growths presently are rather small for this plant (<15") so I'm not expecting big branching inflorescens like a couple of years ago.

The flowers are about the same size as my largest pearcei flowers, but with darker more contrasting colors and heavier substance.

 
Excellent, Rick. Will you do any breeding with it?

Not sure. A friend of mine has a clone that stays consistently bigger, but its often out of bloom when this one is in bloom. Since the plant is running small growths this year, I may not want to set capsules on it, but would offer pollen.
 
Hey really nice Rick. Mine is getting close to opening it's first flower on it's first spike of three spikes on it's second blooming for the year. What a mouth full! I have single fan divison with a big spike coming up as well.
