Guarianthe skinneri vs patinii, distinguishing characteristics?

[DavidCampen]

Here are some photos:

First, some photos of a plant I bought last June as C. deckeri. It started blooming last weekend (1 - 4 February).

Second, some photos of a plant I purchased 2 years ago as C. skinneri 'Heiti Jacobs'. These photos are from when it bllomed for me last year in the second week of March (7- 11 March).

I will change the entry in my OrchidWiz database for the 'Heiti Jacobs' to Guarianthe skinneri.

I had thought that the C. deckeri might be a Guarinathe patinii but the flowers look just like those of the 'Heiti Jacobs'.

Ya, they're pretty tough to tell apart without labels!
