Three helenae

[Spaph]

It's helenae time in my greenhouse with three blooming and all three clones a little different! All are from Hung Sheng in Taiwan that I got as seedlings.

no white stripe around dorsal

They're all so cute. I think I like the one in the middle the best.

All three are so adorable and put a smile on my face. Cross the first two.

I agree. All nice but I like the round dorsal of the 2nd.

I love every helenae I see. The variations are interesting, but I especially
like the second one.

Nice variation, well done

 

[TDT]

Yes, it is wonderful to see them side by side for comparison! Each one is special, thanks.

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice. Do you know if all three are of the same cross?

 

[Spaph]

Thanks everyone for you great comments! I just love this little species

Nice. Do you know if all three are of the same cross?

Hi Rick, the 2nd and 3rd are from the same cross but the first one is from a different cross.

I'm such a goner for helenae and here's 3 reasons/examples why! I could take parts of each one and have one mighty fine helenae in my eyes but then my mind says - wait til next year, will the dorsals flatten a bit on 1 & 3? Will the synsepal be any larger on 2 or 3? We'll have to wait & see!

Very nice....all 3 of them!

Real beauties! I prefer #2 (like the rest, can't strive for individuality), but they're all sweet.
