Hmmm, I do believe that "Hans" was the name given to a plant by a dutch based nursery, I believe it more commonly goes by the name of "Tina".

Hello,
Vertigo is correct. Its common name is "Tina" the plant is a hybrid from P. Zecheri x Agnata. Also called P. "Gina". A mexican ping, it can thrive very well in highland conditions. Flowers are a pale violet with a dark purple mouth and a yellow throat. Mine is 4 1/2 inches in diamiter, and is cabable of getting larger. It is a great plant to have. Good luck,
Kevin
