A small division of Neofinetia falcata variety ‘Kinginrasha’ has decided to bloom. The plant is mounted with moss on a piece of Mopani wood along with a clump of ‘Unkai’ (center) and a small division of ‘Rashaba Yamadori’ .
‘Kinginrasha’ is characterized by its rough leaf texture
and thickened flowers which cluster together, faces pointed to the heavens,
as their tails gracefully curl and intertwine. I find them to be very charming.

I like the way the flowers stand out against that red background. Excellent choice.
P.S. I forgot to mention on the previous post that while you were gone, I moved my blog over to my website at http://www.itsmynaturephotography.com/blog/
Hope you’re feeling up to visiting.

I like the red background; this flower looks so exotic, beautiful. Is it growing in your garden or inside?

Very fine “rasp leaf”.

yes, these are gorgeous against red background – yesterday I had my first hummingbird at my house – now I am obsessed at peeking out near the firebush – we love our plants and birds too much–

Beautiful against that well chosen background color. The graceful curled tails just make this flower. I can almost smell them. Good photography.

Thanks everyone!
I wish you could smell them, anhinga!
I’ve updated my link to your website, edvatza.
Green Mamma, this is an indoor plant. It is a cool-growing Japanese Wind Orchid which I grow in my basement under artificial lights. I have a rather large collection of these. Each plant is a different named variety or cultivar of this one species, Neofinetia falcata.
I love the look of the rasp leaves on this plant, Anders, and on the other larger Kinginrasha plant I have as well. I have one other variety with the rasp leaf feature, and it is growing on the same piece of wood to the far right of this plant.
Flowers and birds are worth loving, A.j. How privileged we are to have these things in our lives.
