The reginae that is my best example is not in spike right now. It was sick and I sacrificed the spike to save the plant. The good news - three new growths coming in now! I have another plant that I got from Orchid Zone last month that is in-sheath now, but I didn't see any of these in bloom, so I am not certain what they will look like.
My short answer - it's the green. They are drastically different, in my eyes. Reginae much, much darker. When is saw them side by side, I said, "I must have them both!", in this case because they look so different. The leaves and the growth of the plant is also totally different.
Will post more as things develop, of course.
victoria-marie is now the only Cochlopetalum I don't have. I have my eyes open for one though!
