Seed parent: MM 17-94d ((G. priorii x gracilis) x carinatus) X unknown

MM 21-492a. Both this and form b have a very distinct stripe in the midrib of each tepal.

MM 21-492b. Nice color, but the flowers are quite narrow.

MM 21-492c. No stripe, but a nice wide flower and it's a lovely vibrant magenta color.

MM 21-419b. Wow, I really like the colors and patterns in this one. Too bad the flowers aren't wider!

In bud the flowers are quite yellow, but they turn pinker as they age.
