This is one of my "manzurii" plants... this one was close to death last year but now is recovering. Sorry the poor quality of the picture.
 
Do you have a side shot of it? I'd like to see the shape of the pouch. Its a cutie.
 
Is the staminode really lumpy and fuzzy like that? Is it my eyes?

The staminode is usually much more rounded... this is a first bloom of the and it has some irregularities..

Here is the lateral view.

I have to say that I do not believe manzuri being a true species but a var. of schlimii.
 
Hi Dido

Although my plants have been collected in the same region of the plant described as "type", no one of my "manzurii" plants show the 100% of the characteristics of the type plant. All of them show a red spot in the staminode and are more or less close to schlimmii...
We do have some flasks in the pipeline but I am afraid of selling something that is not a true manzurii...
