    I'm not completely sold to the idea that this is a real species. It is probably a hybrid/natural hybrid.
    Even the fragrance is not the same as bellina.

    Stunning. Don't think I've ever seen a bellina like this. Could be hybrid.

    After a second look and some googling I think it is a hybrid of bellina x amboinensis. The yellow background colour and the faint, broad bars point to the amboinensis influence. Of course I could be wrong about the cross, but I'm convinced it is not a bellina 'Murtoniana'. Whatever, it is still an excellent phal.
