Another bloomed this year. It's distinctly purple rather than brown like its sibs:

Looks like the staminode is different on this plant also.

that's a bit different

I like that pink colour a lot! Usually P. tranlienianum become pink when the flower is old and starts fading. This flower probably has been more brown in the beginning, isn't it?

absolutely amazing!

That's the weird thing - it opened up purple. The bloom in this photo is only about a week old and hasn't changed since opening.

Huh, I didn't even notice that. But yes, the umbo is distinctly green whereas the others had solid yellow staminodes. I'll take some close-ups when I get the plant back Tuesday.

Hopefully in a year or two this one will bloom with one of the two I kept from the first photo. I'd love to see them side-by-side.

Why should such a colour mutation not happen in a line breeding? I like this lovely flower very much because of its colour.

Red forms are rare. Green umbos are even more rare. Please self this one! I’ll take a few flasks lol.

Here's the staminode. In most photos I've seen it's solid yellow, but there's very little yellow in mine:

Lol... I just scoured the net for photos and it appears that about half of the tranlienianum have a green umbo.

Did you see any purple blooms? I'm wondering if this bloom just has its expression of yellow suppressed. The normal brown coloration may just be a mixture of purple and yellow.
