Used extensively in hybridizing, apparently is a very good parent. You see it crop up everywhere. Multifloral, one after the other. Each flower is backed up by a well developed bud.

One more view. The strong red color is not unusual, anything less would make it a poor quality flower.

Very nice coloration. It looks likes a robust grower also.

A beautiful flower and plant! I live quite near Orchids Ltd., and it's always wonderful to go into their greenhouse and see all of the besseae and besseae hybrids in their vibrant colors. I have not got up the courage to actually try growing one myself, however.

Very vibrant looking and pretty.

That a beauty! Nice growing Nick.
