Now let we go for something unusual species from South America some said very difficult to grow it maybe the truth is there is not the first line for the beginner. This lovely species one of the biggest flower with the dark red like a blood.

We do not see this genus often enough, and it is so rarely used in hybrids. Just imagine the Zygo hybrids that could result from this. Thanks for posting.

I knew one person who grew this genus well. She always claimed it was easy if you gave it the right conditions, but impossible if you couldn't. It might be a bit easier when the conditions outside your door are pretty close to begin with. It is still an accomplishment. Nicely done.

Thanks Kirk I agreed with you seldom seen in the collection and a lots of rumors said very tough and hardy plant. Surprisingly it's enjoying my atmosphere here. I have intention to cross with my bollea alliances just opened today I wish it will take it.

The color is beautiful Zain! I was going to ask if it is a single bloomer but I think I see another bud.

Thanks Sheryl correct is a single bloomer. Your eyes very sharp like eagle. The photo below show another wonderful scene.

A Bollea type could be an excellent choice for some very bold colors.
