It is an interesting plant but I am not sure if I like it or not. It blooms only for a short time and the lover part is long gone before the upper part opens. (sort of like a gladiolus) And mine never gets hot red but rather salmon color.

It is blooming upward Kaustubh, so the top is delayed. the bottom blooms first and slowly the upper flowers will open.
