GIFT OF FIRE*

(Kirchhoff) 2005 30" EM Re Ex Sev 6 1/2".
Its color is a clear, medium, burnished tangerine-orange with a play of red orange veining. The throat is yellow to green. The 3 1/4" wide petals are edged in pleats and tiny piecrust shapes. Sepals are 2" wide. The form is widespread and in our warmest weather inclines toward a triangular shape. Texture is smooth and diamond dusted. Scapes have widely spaced 3 way branching, and are strongly recurrent. Fertile both ways.
