Very interesting, but I like it. Reminds me of a masdevilla orchid, with that strong triangular imprint.

I like it too Ed. I guess you just never know!

Surprised the heck out of me Tigger & Paul
But I like it too, mostly because it is so different than all the rest

2nd bloom opened on the 4th of July, my own fireworks display
Pictures are of the same bloom, shade/sun

Now that is something completely different! I really like it Ed!

Thanks John

Did S-280 bloom for you this year?
Sherm was asking about it.
Here I noticed that the color wasn't as intense as past years, I figure it's a combo of lots of rain, and the earliest start to the season I have ever had.
Also my one fan as increased to 3 already, blooming, mid, and small, this one keeps surprising me.

I think it was Fran who bought the bag with the S-280 seeds, she should be seeing lots of bloom, hope she lets us know how they are doing
