Dear Hans-Werner,
Your creations are beautiful. Your record keeping is so important. Of the two new blooms (new to us), while they are both beautiful, I think the H. Chico x H. Papilio sib cross is most striking. The flowing, curved shape of the lower tepals is so graceful.

Great work!
Kristi

Gorgeous! While I admire them all, I agree with Kristi - H. Chico X H Papilio has such a beautiful shape - amazing! J

Well, I have to say I love them both! I don't think I could choose between the first two photos.

I also love the orchid like shape of your Brazilian aulicum; are those 3 flowers on one scape?

Thanks for sharing these pictures!!

This kind of curved shape of some flower segments is due to the tips of the segments sticking together, causing the buds to "balloon" while the floret is already due to open...

Yes there is 3 florets on the scape of this individual H.aulicum (#10)
MY individual H.aulicum clones have, there is evidence from observation of a couple years, a (genetic) disposition to produce either "almost exclusively 2 florets" OR "commonly 3 florets rarely 4 florets" or "commonly 4 florets sometimes 3 florets" all in respect to the condition "mature bulbs".
