Rhynchostylis gigantea var.red

[wanlynlanhua]

I'm really on a hunt for this, according to my reliable vendor they have a gigantea but not red, the usual spotted one. i already put an order to his stall, finger crossed that he must have that red one too and the one that his reffering to is a real gigantea.

So, Jeff, keep on trying, you should be able to get it one day!
Some people here also saying the pale pink spots ones are real gigantea too, their "real" meaning is those from the native wild. But I prefer the artificial hybrids which have bigger, more-balanced flower shape & more fluffy dense foxtails, I see those as the development. But really, someone here just likes the "original" ones, so it really depends on different people though. From the information I've heard & partly read, the "red", "white", and "spots (light pink color)" are real species from the wild. But there're also many man-made "red", "white" and "spots" and they're all popular here, as same as the new color varieties that happened later.
