This is a highly sought after hybrid.  Plant has general bulbosa shape but holds a year round rich red color in the long glaborous wavy leaves.  Can grow quite large given the parentage, sometimes reaching 18" long.  The floral bracts emerge slightly from the colorful scapes but stay tight to the peduncle.  This is a real rarity and a collector must have so grab it while you can!
