    Here are a couple of seedlings from a cross I made in 1994 (!) with pollen from Hipp evansiae ( a tall-growing white-flowered species) daubed onto Hipp papilio. The plants grew into spectacularly blooming clumps - they peaked around 2002, I guess - but have been going downhill since then. In a few weeks I'll tear the clumps apart and start everything over again in fresh potting mix. I call this first one "Strong Markings," although I don't believe the markings are quite as pronounced as they've been in the past.
