helenae

[Chien]

This helenae has bloomed again.

I got the pollen of this helenae from a friend, to cross with the first one. This one has very deep color.

I bought this one for its red pouch.

I like them both, but the red, not only on the pouch, also on the petals in the dorsal is very interesting!!! Jean

Chien, very nice. I understand that helenea can bloom on very short (4") leaf spans. Do you know what type of a leaf span a mature plant might have?

In my observation, in the case of helenae, there are many types of mature plants, in some clones, a single leaf can reach more than 10 cm, but in other clones, a leaf can only be less than 5 cm. I also feel the longer leaf span might has larger flower.
