Yet one more Princess Kaiulani is joining my collection but I still have just three of them because the number III died recently.
I got the new one from Ten Shin Gardens during the show in Ottawa for only $20. It has a spoiled bloom on a short spike.

I'm trying to tell if this is a PK 'Chin Yo' or not. . . The flower looks pretty red, but it's possible that 'CY' turns red as it fades. I've pollinated my PK 'CY' flowers, so I can't comment on if it fades like that or not.
I got picture of fading PK 'CY' fading flower here and it seems that the petal edges are more yellow than here. Althouh they might be at different stages of fading...
