Lepanthes elegantula, a species from Ecuador, certainly lives up to its name: it is indeed most elegant. The plant is erect and stands at 5-6 cm. The flowers are nearly 2 cm tall, very large for a Lepanthes, and are a dark satiny purple that is very difficult to photograph. The flowers come one or two at a time, blooming successively on wiry flower spikes that stand well above the foliage.
