Hello Maggi, there are so many similar ones you could call it any name. It looks like forrestii in the parentage.

So hard to identify hybrids. I agree that clearly forrestii is in there somewhere. From the twisted top petal and pink colouration I would guess x barbarae could be another parent or at least in the mix somewhere. But impossible to be sure.

Hi,
my first thought was Pleione Krakatoa (yunnanensis x forrestii), but not certain.

A bit windswept, but quite beautiful nonetheless! My guess would be the same as Paul's.
Do you know if it's a natural or man-made hybrid?

It always helps if one knows where the plant was purchased.

Could it be one of these Anthura unnamed, unrecorded hybrids ?

Almost certainly, Luc - the cluster of bulbs in the pot is characteristic.
