Masdevallia coccinea 'Dwarf Pink'

Masdevallia coccinea 'Dwarf Pink'
Masdevallia coccinea is one of the larger Masdevallias with very long flower spikes, far to big for my collection. This plant, however, is a dwarf form, that fits my growing area, though it is still quite large. The plant is 15 cm tall (it can be twice that size) with flower spikes that reach another 15 cm above the plant. These (5 cm) flowers open dark pink and fade to paler pink, but the species can be found in a rainbow of colors. It blooms in the spring and is from the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes.

Thanks for your comments and visits, George. I grow almost all high altitude orchid species either from the Andes or from the highlands of New Guinea, so they have pretty much all the same climatic needs.
