I've posted this species before, but last time it bloomed it had only two flowers. It did much better this fall. The species has thick, channeled leaves 5 cm long and 4 cm flowers on 15 cm spikes. It is from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela and is related to Masdevallia and Pleurothallis. I grow it in live sphagnum and try to keep it slightly dry which it seems to prefer. I've found, too, that the flowers are not very long-lasting.
