There was no trace of purple in my hybrids of H. anzaldoi x H. papilio.  Red was very prominent in the flowers of the hybrid.

  Hi All,
Sorry to reply so late to this question and if someone with
greater expertise than I has answered already. But the flower pictured does
not look like my photo of H.macbridei from Len Doran's collection.
The flower in the photo has the segent shape and overall shape of
H.papilio and the colour with green striae of H.aulicum. The thing that
worries me is that in just about every case of a papilio hybrid, the strong
purple colour of papilio is present in the hybrid flower. But I must admit
that the red of aulicum is strong also and this time seems to have
dominated.
