Robiquetia cerina 'Red Form' is a vibrant, waxy-flowered orchid species native to the Philippines, prized for its deep red blooms and compact growth habit. It’s a standout among tropical epiphytes and a favorite for warm-climate orchid collectors. Bearing waxy, deep red blooms arranged on a pendulous, conical raceme on inflorescence 6–10 cm long, the flowers open successively, with about one-third in bloom at any time. Blooming season: Fall and winter.
