red florida ricordea?

[currentking]

anyone ever seen a red ricordea florida? my LFS has some and I may go get them

I've never seen a red R. florida, but I have seen red R. yuma. It's not to say that they aren't out there. I had never seen a pink R. florida, but only pink R. yuma until I got one. Plus, R. florida comes in a variety of shades of orange. This could just be a super duper dark orange. I would get it no matter if it was an R. florida or an R. yuma. I like red Ricordeas.

Go get them and take a picture. I wanna see one.

 

[currentking]

heres the pic, they said it was red, but ill let you be the judge. they look orange to me, but a little different than the other ones I have

 

[lokelani808]

they look like yuma to me.and i agree with you, I see redorange coloring, but those often are sold as "red"

 

[Jimbo327]

Actually, I've seen pinks morph into reds. And the orange is very close to the reds as well, but it is not as intense as the reds.

That is a lot of really nice yumas there. Must have cost very much.

And more importantly, how did we let his rock out of the West Coast?

 

[currentking]

could they be yumas? got the rock for 70, not sure if it was worth it

 

[gsellers1245]

they are yumas, the yumas have the bubbles on their mouths and the r. floridas have a smooth mouth. You could have paid a bit less but with the demand of ricordias nice score

 

[Jimbo327]

Those are definitely yumas.

That rock is definitely worth $70. You got a great deal in my opinion. Most vendors will sell those for twice that.

Those are R. yuma. I have some almost exactly like them. They are pretty though.

Bad picture of mine

I have a pink Florida Ricordea, I have never seen a red one though. I have seen dark orange that under the right combo oof lights might look red. But never a true red.....

Those are SWEET currentking! Congrats!

I think i almost bought those, what store did you get them at?

 

[mikekman]

Nice yumas.....they look orange to me. As one of the guys above said, I also haven't really seen a RED RED ric florida but have seen a pretty bright red yuma.

 

[moonpower]

I think they look like a dark orange but as they said above lighting makes a difference. Good buy!
