    Default Huntleya wallisii

    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.

    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.

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