Size is not big.
 
wow. those are really nice. the first one has great form with a nice wide dorsal, good markings, nice color, nice horizontal petal stance.. overall both have that "chunky" feeling to them, and good color!
what is the parentage??
 
Magnificient!!
Great color in the darker flower!
What is the breeding of that clone?
Congratulations on a super blooming.
 
Parent of the second one is "Dou Fong" and "Janet". I can't find any information of "Janet".

Barry,
Carter & Holmes out of North Carolina here in the states had a roth 'Janet'. At one time they offered a F2 cross of roth, (something) X 'Janet' and boasted offspring were quick to bloom on small plants. Maybe this is the same 'Janet'

It's difficult to believe the first is truely a jungle plant!
 
Janet garnered an FCC/AOS back in 1969. There are better flowers around today, but it may be a useful breeder. I found just one pic in the internet where it had average shape but dark colour. Maybe it's the colour that Janet contributes to this cross.
