Hildewintera
This Hildewintera flowered this morning for the first time for me I think it is rather nice:-

Re: Hildewintera
Isn't it interesting how the "corona" of petals in the centre of the flowers, a feature of the Hildewintera parent, is so dominant in the hybrids. It is this feature that I think makes them so attractive.

Re: Hildewintera
I just got some lovely hybrids from Andreas Wessner in Germany. Lovely plants for a good price. I think he’s almost sold out already though. Watch that space if you are interested in these.

Re: Hildewintera
That one looks quite close to Akersia roseiflora.
