A lovely, robust hybrid by Jim Irvin is a cultivar of (limbata x bulbosa). Most closely resembling the bulbosa parent with a bulbous base, glossy leaves, and a branched, red inflor escence, it does differ though in some aspects. The plant is larger than bulbosa, growing to about 12 inches tall with upright, terete leaves that are glossy or nearly lacking visible trichomes. The color is green overall until anthesis. The inflorescence is tall with multiple branches which are long and slender (more so than bulbosa) and bright red in color. The foliage will blush slightly bronzy-reddish at anthesis and in stronger light. A vigorous grower that produces more offsets than the bulbosa parent, forming nice clusters in a relatively short time. Show more
