Amazing what range in colour there can be! Thanks for showing!

 

[Djthomp28]

Thanks for sharing this awesome comparison. There is such variety in this species!

 

[BrucherT]

Would like to know how such variation is achieved; does this collection represent different localities? Are they flowered our from flasked seed?

 

[Just1more]

I would guess tthat you need the ‘owner’ to answer your queries! Unless Hakone and Popow are one and the same!

 

[Happypaphy7]

Variations are given.
I've seen quite a few photos of this species shot at their habitat. I could see slight variations.
Ones with dark pouch, lighter pouch, some with significantly larger flowers than others...so on.

....Unless Hakone and Popow are one and the same!

I as a third person can confirm that they aren't!
