I ordered one of these from Scheepers a few years ago, because I also thought it looked kind of like a cybister x papilio cross. When it finally bloomed, it looked exactly like H. papilio. It has proven to be very vigorous and blooms with multiple stalks. (This year my one-gallon pot has four scapes so far.) And the flowers last longer than my ordinary papilios. Either I got a straight papilio that was mislabeled or could I have gotten an F2 that happens to appear just like the papilio parent only more vigorous? It doesn't look anything like the picture in the catalog. --Lee Poulsen Pasadena area, California, USDA Zone 9-10 On Apr 14, 2004, at 7:50 AM, Cynthia Mueller wrote: > There is a cultivar in circulation known as 'Papilio Improved' which > looks very like the spidery cybister hybrids.
