One more, it has an 11" wing span. There is no reddish hint on the flower, it's the camera that does that with black flowers.

All of the Ravens you have posted are really cool. How hard are they to grow, compared to a typical Dracula.

No different. There are some Dracula that are difficult but not these nor their parents. Once the proper environment has been created for them, it becomes effort less.

What's difficult is to allow others to appreciate them. Outside their comfort zone, the flowers collapse very quickly. I take them to an orchid society meeting in an ice chest with a wet towel and ice cubes at the bottom. I leave them there until the main speaker has finished and then take them out and hang them up so that the members can enjoy them during the break. Nothing else has worked for me.

In San Francisco there are quite a few people who grow them. Here in Southern California hardly anyone does. They are therefore much appreciated.
