Really cool nice new stuff, I wondering how long the flowers may last after you already disturbing the roots.

I also got me this one yesterday. I did the same as with the Colmanara and repotted it immediately after getting home. This one did have the sphagnum ball between the roots. I took away as much as I could, but I'm sure not all of it. I hope she doesn't mind me stirring in between her roots and the second and third spike will bloom as well.

I'll let you know. Today, they don't look different from yesterday.
Beautiful. Such intense red colour.
They are so beautiful , had 1 for years , how long the flowers last depends on conditions.Repotted mine into s/h whilst in flower & it didn't miss a beat.
So yours should be fine.
I got a Burr. Steven Isler, very similar, but more orange, esp. on the lip. I didn't repot it right away and almost lost it. Turns out all of the back bulbs were damaged by having it stuffed (potted) in a slightly larger pot and sphagnum moss crammed in the top. It was very wet when I got it, I took out the moss and got it in the air more, but I missed that it was so damaged. I wouldn't wait to repot anything that questionable next time! It started to lose leaves and I pulled it out - the back end had started to mold. I cut it down to the one healthy p-bulb, which has about 1" of roots and treated with fungicide. It's now sitting in slightly damp sphagnum moss - it does have 3 buds starting to grow on the front side, so I figure if I can keep it from rotting or getting too dry, it will recover. I hope so, I really like the flowers!
Love the red blooms on this orchid!
cheers,
