Like to share this beautiful species. Got it about 1,5 years ago from Schwerter as young plant. It is very vigirous, like all the species from the subgenus. For me IT IS the First time, that i see that species in person in bloom. I was impressed by the flower size compared to the other species and the fancy coloration. Also the leaves are very showy.

Love that comparison pic!

This relatively new species is very pretty in both, flower and foliage.

Love that comparison pic!

Good idea and very nice photo with three pretty species which makes it easy to compare one to the other.

Very thoughtful way to present three species. Nice job!!!

 

[Duck Slipper]

Very nice!

What a spectacular achievement, what a thrill to have your first time seeing a species occur with a plant you have raised successfully. Never seen a photo of those three together; thank you so much for sharing your pride and joy.

nice 'family' shot

Love that group shot! They're all nice, but I'm partial to the victoria-regina, why doesn't it have its own thread!!?

Love this beautiful trio of blooms . What are the IDs on the top bloom & bloom on bottom left?

Thank you all for your kind comments!
@NEslipper: mmh, it is in bloom since around 1,5 years, so I got used to the sight. Perhaps i showed it before!?
@Just1more : left is victoria-reginae, top is victoria-mariae.

To complete the family, may need liemianum/chamberlainianum, moquetianum and kalinae ?

That would be a phenomenal sight all together! Perhaps a challenge for future, but to get a real kalinae could be difficult. And primulinum must not be missing.

Yes the primulinum var purpurascens!

Indeed kalinae is not easy to find so there’s a challenge for the future for sure!

I am still impressed by the size. Anybody else has flowered this species? What are others observations about the size?
