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.

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.
