Gorgeous both!!!
The spicerianum looks like a combo with tranlienianum...! Very interesting!

I agree. And the second one looks like a gratrixianum, album.
No, search Dorama, someone explains the hybrid was passed off as an album species.

I didn't say it was -- I said it looks like one...

That was my first thought when it opened
But I think it's just a spicerianum with a bad shape, maybe on next blooming it will be better.

No,no, there's clearly tranlienianum in it. It's sure. Nice hybrid.

I don't see any evidence of tranlienianum in the staminode. Wouldn't there be???

Love ur pictures
Yes I agree.
But staminode have a very big importance to differentiate two closely related species. Clearly.
When we talk about hybrids, it's less clear because the staminode can be from one of parents, the other or a mix.
In this case, this plant have a staminode very similar to spicerianum but dorsal form, petals form flower shape and color of the flower is clearly tranlienianum. No doubt for me.
But I'm not a specialist.

That spice is definitely an odd one.
