Spilotantha chaetostoma

Spilotantha or Masdevallia chaetostoma is a charming little plant.  It is from Ecuador and is only 6 cm tall, with 15 cm erect flower spikes.   The 1.5 cm flowers are like little white and yellow insects and come 5 or 6 per spike.

    I love Masdevallias. I'm starting a collection of them. And Draculas.

    This one is so cute!

    Thanks for sharing

      Hope you do well with the Masdevallias and Draculas. The Pleurothallids are still my favorite group of orchids.
