To be more accurate... according to the Brazilians, the accepted form of this is: rosada-lineata-flammea. They describe this as a flower marked with a rose-lilac shading (rosada) along the mid-rib (lineata) of the petals and sepals, with a strong uniform blotch marking on the surface of the petals near their apexes (flammea). It is a combination of three specific color traits that can be found in walkeriana flowers independently or in any combination. There are many other distinct flower color traits accepted by the Brazilians but most are not accepted by the AOS.Such a beautifully painted flamea flower. Well done to save the plant!

Bur think it might have got a bit lost in search of the right forum!
Interesting form description. Different geographical regions will have different horticultural designations for the same flower.To be more accurate... according to the Brazilians, the accepted form of this is: rosada-lineata-flammea.
