In natural sunlight.

Wow!!! Stunning!!

 

[SlipperFan]

It should be red?

 

[NYEric]

I don't think so. Hybrid or diseased.

There's no way to know how this appears on anyone else's monitor, but I don't see anything that makes me question the identification or health of this. Brightly lit in sunlight, probably grown rather warm as the flower developed as Ozpaph observed, probably wouldn't be considered award quality but definitely a nice C. coccinea.

Never the easiest species to grow or photograph. Nicely done.
