First time I have flowered this seedling and the 4th roth I have flowered overall. This one is better than the photos suggest. It has more of a WOW factor than the roth I posted last week. The flowers are larger and the pouch has a more intense red colour than any of the roths I have flowered so far. The pouch colour is truly wonderful in person. I don't know what the breeding is. I believe it originated from Taiwan.
I bought this plant off John Robertson at least 12 years ago. It was a NFS plant, maybe 2-3 years from flowering. For about 10 years it did nothing. In fact, it went backwards and eventually got rot. It then sent up a small new lead but I'd totally given up on the plant. Around that time I changed my fertiliser regime and that small lead grew and flowered within 3 years.
