Phragmipedium pearcei var. Ecuadorense.

A while back, I posted what I thought was Phrag. caricinum which turned out as another Phrag. pearcei. (second photo)

Now the other one is in flower so we can all make comparisons. :p

Two goodies. Great pearcei with all the red in it. Shiva, can you tell if there is a size difference betweent the two? I have both blooming currently and the pearcei v pearcei is much larger then the ecuadorense.
 
Unfortunately the first pearcei is no more in flower so I can't compare directly. The var. ecuadorense I have now has a 9cm tall flower with petals about 6 cm long. The dorsal is 3 cm high (fully straigtened) and 1.5 cm wide. So now you can compare with your var. ecuadorense.:)
