It has to be dry to get those temps or they will rot, if winters in green
house may even stay evergreen even though dry.
Doug's image is different from the 3 forms I have seen...there is much more
red on the tepals. Mine havbe only shown atinge of pink after a few days
old. One form gets a magenta almost purplish near the center. Is the
spidery one H. anazoldoii? I wonder many taxa out there that are part of
H.evansiae?

Kevin,
That is a good question. Dennis Tsang mentions a form that is "spidery." We
need more ijnput on that question.
Mine showed more of the pink in the first 3 - 5 days. The picture as posted
is what they look like today.
Did you see the pictures of my Hipp. intiflorum? It is an orange-red.
Doug
