And they deliver — long branching inflorescences, dozens of flowers at once, strong color inheritance, and a growth rhythm that adapts surprisingly well to home conditions. A bloom like this, with its bright yellow petals splashed in chestnut blotches and that frilled white lip marked in burgundy, is practically a field guide in itself.
