silvery green foliage on pear-shaped bulbs, spikes up to 18" have 10 to 25 long-lived bright orange to deep scarlet flowers, the flat blooms are 2" in diameter and have a narrow bright yellow lip, truly beautiful but has special needs: this spectacular plant is a definite cool/wet grower i.e., air-conditioned homes or offices
