From left to right, the whole plant, the foliage, then the bloom. Bloom is maybe ¼ - 3/8 inches in diameter. Foliage picture is not so good, it's just a crop-down from a picture of the whole plant.

. . . Dossinia marmorata x Macodes petola. I also have a marmorata, and it is doing fine so far. I don't think they need quite as damp and humid an environment as the petola (at least it seems so . . . so far). The marmorata leaf looks very similar to the petola, but darker and more red-ish. Also bigger I believe. Indira's Net leaves are about 3+ inches long, and the marmorata leaves are about the same size.
