Choose your helenae

Hi everyone!

I know you´ve been watching hundreds of P. helenae during the last months but now, the "helenae season" here in Spain has come.

I only own two plants of this cute species and they´re completely different so... choose your favourite!!

IMO, the plant on the left has better shape, but the other one is much better coloured.

I hope you like them.

Cuties! I agree with your opinions, but I would steal the one on the left any day.

They're both lovely, but I prefer the one on the right.

Right one has very nice colours.

Could you reduce the photo size so that we don't have to scroll back and forth and up and down to see the whole flower?

Oh, sorry. I can see the whole photograph in my PC without scrolling!

Here you have.







Enough?

*slaps forehead*

I meant the right one too! Gah! Stupid brain! :rollhappy:

They're both QT's!

Wow! another dummy like me who doesn't know right from left!

Yup, and it's extra funny since I've bragged about how good I am with left and right since I'm left handed. The bragging also took place right before I mixed them up, BTW. I'm gonna hear it forever. :rollhappy:

They're both very nice! Variety really is the spice of life, so lucky you don't have to choose, since you have both

Since everyone else wants the one on the right, I'll take the one on the left.

Ah, yes. Very good....thanks! It's nice to see the photos side by side and compare the differences. It's hard to choose which I like more.....therefore, I'll take 'em both!

I've got 3 clones, 2 are BS; but, I've not seen a bloom yet. One of them did spike last year; but, I knocked the plant on the floor and snapped off the bud. Grrrrr!

As my mother used to say, "it's your other right." I love them both. Don't feel bad Mutant and Eric, I can never
find my car in a parking lot...really baaaaad sense of
direction.

That´s a pity but...I´ll have to purchase some more P. helenae ´till I get the perfect one :rollhappy:

Ok. I´ll try to get three flowers for the next season so that you don´t have to chosse between right or left, but #1, #2 or #3

Thank U all for your comments. I´ve been trying to get the left flower for two years because the plant I bought was a huge piece of s**t, so your comments cheer me up to keep growing this slow genus.
