| To my great astonishment and initial deception the buds of all 4 siblings indicated me that they would yield blooms of similar appearance. I would never have guessed that I obtain such wild looking blooms from a species x 4ploid crossbreeding. Indeed the blooms ressemble more intermediates between H.papilio and H.aulicum. That's great experience! The second sibling: At least this one bears a central stripe on the outer segments and on the lower one, too; thus underlining the "star" characteristics... Hans-Werner |

| This is the 3rd seedling. It yielded the largest blooms exhibiting a remarkable similarity to H. aulicum v.robustum:

And this is the the 4th sibling; the palest one but with an interesting shape. This seedling is emerging two further scapes which is rather exceptional for a 3 y old plant.  Now the evaluation of the self fertility of the 4 seedlings takes place. Hans-Werner |

| These flowers are really beautiful ! I like them better than another papillio-cross you have postet pictures of earlier ! These flowers are elegant ! |

| Thank you, Bergit (But where are you) I am glad to say that at least the self pollination of the latter hybrid - this one 4th sibling - was successfull - although I experienced a very low germination rate from these seeds which were so numerously produced (2 seed pods which contained 120 seeds each). Interestingly the 5 plants of this grex refused to form any new leaves during this German "summer" and they caught up fpr that at the windowsill later - and in a very nice manner, emerging 5 to 6 fresh leaves simultaneously:

| As usual...stunning! :-) Cheers |

| Thank you Sean. I achieved completeness of the PapDonAmb series some weeks ago. I feel very fortunate that I succeeded in envoking seed pod formation on this one as well as on #2 - and I used a pollen mix of some of my very treasures of my own production line *ggg* - some Dip's and TET's which I consider as superior. That is great experience compared to the previous almost entire failures. #2 |

| Thank-you Hans-Werner! What lovely,fanged faces! I quite like the 4th sibling,the pale one :) The curls and ruffles are nice. Lora |
