A few notes on Pikes list:

H. bella 'variegata' - this one can be difficult to grow and likes high humidity
Purpureo-Fusca (Silver Pink) - this one is actually H. pubicalyx 'Pink Silver', easy to grow and is a heavy bloomer once it gets started.
H. darwinii, imperialis & incana seem not to be those species, jury is still out on those ones
minima is H. serpens - also one that can be difficult to grow.

As for archboldiana, I don't want to trim my plant yet but I may be able to get another cutting from Holland during this summer.
The picture shows the flowers today as they have started to open.
