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.

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
