I almost threw this one out. The first three times it bloomed without a pouch. The next two times it bloomed with the petals barely opened. While I am hoping the shape might continue to improve, I remain fascinated by the intense, velvety, red. This blossom is almost done, as you may notice. I will try to remember to post the next one.CB14743A-5B35-4C2E-95B1-80EB6B9CB28E.jpeg
 
Skip the trash, toss into nearest volcano. That red is hotter than lava.

How big is the plant now?

Hi Max, it is in a 4 to 5-inch pot that has 3 old growths (I dispensed with earlier ones), the growth that is blooming, and one more growth that is nearly blooming size. It is relatively compact. I just noticed that it has a “branching” bud on this scape - must be from the dalessandroi in it, I suppose. So, if/when the next two buds open, I‘ll post a couple more pictures showing more of the plant. It is “time” to repot, but I am reluctant to upset the apple cart. Best, Kate

You're very patient!
