Please help me to identify its id. Many thanks

Anitum X phillipinense maybe.

It is a wonderful clone.

Wow! Impressive to these old eyes.

I agree with Emydura that is can be Yang-Ji Apple (phillippense x anitum). The great thing about this hybrid are the long petals, which is longer at 20 cm that the average median petal length of either species at 16 cm.

I agree. Anitum is amazing at imparting long petals in its hybrids. There is an awarded Yang-Ji Apple from Taiwan that had 26cm petals. That is the longest I have seen.

WOW i like that a lot....

@emydura , @DrLeslieEe
For folks that have seen many Yang-ji Apples ... do these typically retain a robellini like lip coloration form the philippinense parent?

I grow only the small/compact plants, but if I ever found one like this (that would fit my budget), I’d have to get it!!! Colors are glorious to my old, old eyes!

Yes they all have the yellow lip in this cross (as much as I’ve seen), a dominant feature of phils in some hybrids (but not all).

The black spotted/lines in dorsal petal inherited from anitum and the yellow puch similar to that from phillipinense make a special chromatic mixin.

I can only join chorus: a hybrid the keeps good features from both parentes, while remaining totally its own!
