Masdevallia angulifera 'J & L'

Masdevallia angulifera 'J & L'
This miniature orchid is from Colombia and from the high-altitude cloud forests there. The plant is less than five inches (12cm) and the flowers are one inch long (2.5cm). The plant belongs to a group of Masdevallias with more or less tubular flowers that are lined with glandular hairs, evident in the picture as a kind of whitish halo on the inside of the flower. There are more pictures of the plant and flower at the link below. This particular plant was awarded by the American Orchid Society for its dark-colored flowers. I Am posting the plant as part of a project, something I've never done before, but in this case requires posting 100 pictures of the same general subject over the course of the year, so this is 1/100.
