Help with clones,cultivars etc ?

[keith kent]

I have got a Masdevallia coccinea `Sanbar carmen beauty'

So is this a species ? i know coccinea like alot of orchid species is variable in colour

Can anyone provide a link explaining clones/cultivars and any info on this cultivar. A google search brings up quite alot of coccinea cultivars.

Regards Keith

Keith,

Your plant is the species Masdevallia coccinea.

The cultivar - cultivated variety, a way to simply discern one plant from another - is relatively meaningless in terms of culture, unless its originator noted something significant.

Thanks Kenni & Ray.

These names do get complexed ! Regards
