The flower looks so tiny, how big is it?
I love the purple and yellow corlurs, and the way they blend in with eadh other

Is this a hybrid or species? From the name I get the incling it might be from Colombia, or has parents from Colombia. hehe.
Nice colors, absolutely beautiful.

Thanks everyone! I hope you get this one, Sue!

Thanks, Restrepia, I really like this particular clone of Magdalena.

Niels, welcome back!

This is a fairly small flower on a very long stem! The flower is about 2cm wide x 3 cm high (less than 1 inch x less than 1.5 inches) and it sits on top of a nice long stem (well clear of the foliage) that is 28 cm (11 inches) tall.

I've not seem many Magdalenas with so pronouced a yellow throat colour (from the Masd. uniflora parent). I like it very much, too! It is hard to tell from photos, but the 'tails' are actually orange.

Tin, Magdalena is a hybrid of (M. coccinea x M. uniflora) - so, yes, Columbia x Peru!
