This orchid species is really tiny, only 3 cm tall with 1.5 cm flowers. Dryadella cristata is from Colombia and blooms in the winter here. The genus, Dryadella, was separated from Masdevallia and contains approximately 30 species. The species name of this plant refers to the crested petals, visible as blackish-purple bits in the center of the flowers.
