Colmanara Masai
Mar. 10, 2015: I can't find much about the distinction between this flower and the Masai Red which tends to have an all red lip. To distinguish it for me, I'll simply call it a Masai and avoid using the "Red" so as not to confuse it. This came from the East Bay Nursery where I was lucky enough to have a gift certificate. I got 4 Papheopedilums that were out of bloom and saw this on the checkout counter and had to have it. I love the color and size of the flowers. I am also a sucker for the intergenerics because I really like their pseudobulbs. There are so many more buds that have yet to bloom so this plant is only going to get better in the next few weeks.
