Maypop- not sure if this is the kodama one but its just a chocolate drop, there alot of variations in them i think. I was alittle disapointed it wasnt very red but its a nice shiny dark pink colour.
Anyone else have a chocolate drop flower pic?
Sandnsea- im sure thats not helvetia but something with either Liemianum or primulinum in it or could be pinocchio. Heres my helvetia, its been flowering for about 6 months with 7 flowers so far....

Yes, Bree and Kathy, I agree it does look alot like your liemianum. The tag that came with it said Helvetia 2739 . Could the 2739 mean something?Like a cross or something? Or maybe just the wrong tag........ Glad to have all you experts to ID...

Yes, it's waxy. I assume Kodama and Volcano Queen are siblings. It's a C. gutatta and G aurantiaca cross.

I googled away on that Paph and came up with a Helvetia with 2739...not sure if it is it, but interesting.
Mine looks more like 2902.... which has primulinum heritage, like you suggested, Bree.

So chocolatey! This is the one I have from a seedling rescue two years ago. May it live long and prosper. I'm expecting blooms by next year or else!
