Lint I don't see it. You're over reacting a bit. Paul simply stated the facts. "wild collected plants" " no selective breeding going on" and " they're fine with him"
as with me.

I like these flowers, these spots are very unusual and the foliage is beautiful.
There is a bullenianum var. oculatum which Reichenbach described "it has its petals with a mauve disk at the top, and on the undulate margins there are some large dark sepia-brown, nearly black eye spots.". That was introduced by Bull from Borneo back in 1881. I haven't seen a picture of that variety though, but yours appears different since there's not much undulation and the eye spots are not restricted to the margins in your flowers.
