Lovely flower. Mine made a 4' spike and then shriveled up. Here is what Jay Phal has to say about the genus:

These species were listed in Schomburgkia but have been moved to the new genus Myrmecophila which means ant bearing, and as the name implies they have psuedobulbs that are naturally hollow to accommodate an ant colony who keep the long growing, long spiking inflorescence and buds safe from predators such as thrips, who would suck the buds dry in a second.

Love the colour.

I agree the color is wonderful.

if only there was a smaller version... Very nice color and texture.
