Two hybrids and a species.
First, Woessner Komet (Mercatelli x adductum). I'm glad Franz Glanz gave me a plant of this cross, since he was carrying every single flowering plant from this cross to the judging tables. He mentioned he only had a dozen or so seedlings coming out of flask. Sam Tsui offers the same cross, apparently he had better luck. This thing was really hard to take pics of.
Wayne Booth came to me a a bonus plant a few years back. First flowering, and I am very, very happy with it. In my eyes, the flower is awardable, and I would have put it on the table if there weren't a few issues (staminode bent, flower stalk growing zig-zag, low flower count of three, leafs have some yellow marks on them). Natural spread is 25cm.
Sorry, this b.... thing uploads only as a thumbnail
Last is a roth, Big Garden x green Valley. This looks like a pretty weak flower, and I just hope it's getting better next time. I had higher expectations for this one. I have three more roth's in low bud right now.
