I have two pictures below. One is of Asocenda Banjong's Delight. It has a brillant orange color. It is about half open now. The open blossoms are at the bottom of the flower spike. Starting about half-way up the spike, one can see the buds all the way up to the top.
The other photo is of Asocenda Crownfox Butterfly. I have had this plant over a year, but this is its very first bloom. The plant is large, and it really seems like it should have bloomed before now. However, when I bought it, the plant had VERY dark green leaves. Prior to my ownership, it may have not been given enough light in order to bloom. I have been gradually moving it to a brighter spot. The new leaves are now looking a lighter green and this month it started to bloom. This is a photo of the spike before any of the buds open. I am anxious to see what this bloom is going to look like. I have a general idea, but flowers can vary in appearance from one plant to another even when the plants are the same hybrid.
