Masdevallia mendozae is a cool-growing species from the highlands of Ecuador. It is one of the species in section Saltatrices, a group of species with brightly colored tubular flowers that are lined with glandular hairs. It seems to be somewhat difficult to grow.

This is an older picture but the plant is coming into bloom once again. It is a hybrid of Masdevallia Angel Frost and Masdevallia mendozae and a prolific bloomer.

Native to Ecuador, this is a different plant than the one shown below. This flower is more yellowish and not quite as large.

Is it a big orange slug or is it a flower? Maybe this is how slugs are born. Native to Ecuador.

Masdevallia mendozae is another species from Ecuador belonging to the Saltarices group of Masdevallias. The flowers, like all the others in the group, are lined with glandular hairs and have a "belly" at the base of the flowers, in this case very small. The plant is in bloom once again but the picture is an older one. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2012/05/masdevallia-mendo...
