Hi Guys,
a few more flowers from the cold frame today.
I thought a general shot would be useful - you can see the range of flower sizes from this.

The first photo is an obviously mis-named Gabriela ( fasciolatum x kentuckiense ).
I'm inclining to think that it is actually Sabine ( macranthos x fasciolatum ).
Its a very big flower and the only other cross it could be ( Philipp - kentuckiense x macranthos ) has a much smaller lip relative to the petals.

Next is Aki ( macranthos x pubescens )- I like the red and yellow colours that mingle on the lip.

Lastly we have 2 separate clones of Emil (calceolus x parviflorum )flowering for the first time.
The flowers are quite small but brightly coloured with the second clone having deeper coloured petals.
