This species is among my favorite ones.
I took pictures of some of the blooms , other flowers were wilted by the time I received the plants, in that case I will have to use the photos from the sellers . You are welcome to check back from time to time, i will add more photos of new plants.

Blumen Insel No.4 same breeding as No.2 & No.3 but it is harder to tell that it came from the same parents. I notice that the flower has a lot of white flecks landing on it, Thanh must be spray-paint refurbishing some furniture near by on that day :)

Blumen Insel No.5, this one is a different cross, Hanajima tags as black cross, but I think it still has a long run to get to that point

plant No.6 a different Blumen Insel cross (HPA 3090) I got from Thanh, photo by Thanh Nguyen Springwater Orchids. I think the shape and pattern is nice enough, so I use it to breed with a solid color

No.7 is also from the "Hanajima black cross", I got this a month ago from Thanh. the veins are closer to each other, better than No.5 , the dorsal is close to solid color. He still has a dozen or so available on his ebay store.

I got No.8 from Thanh same time a month ago as No.7, very pretty, however the stem is so thin, the flower could not hold itself up. If it can not produce a strong stem next bloom, then the flaw is inherited. This one actually has a tag with full parents' names "Red Devil" x "Giant".

I have a feeling that this one shares the same parents with No.2, No.3 & No.4. I show Thanh's photo, because it was no longer fresh looking to be photographed when I got it

This is No.11 (Blumen Insel breeding), I would range it at the bottom. I collect it just because the pattern is different from the others, but the shape is not good

No. 12, actually this has a Popow tag even it was sold by Springwater so I don't think this is Hanajima breeding, photo by Thanh Nguyen (Springwater Orchids), of all of the ones I collect, this one has the best looking full egg shape pouch .

I got 2 plants of this breeding from Big Leaf orchids ,Peter only got a few of these from a Taiwanese breeder. I keep the name tag "PALEU" #1, maybe it has something to do with the cross or just his inventory number.
