Masdevallia prodigiosa
Masdevallia prodigiosa, as its name suggests, is a very unusual species for the genus. Its soft orange color, its rather strange shape, and its large-sized flowers are all distinctive, and the species cannot be mistaken for any other in the genus. It comes from Peru and is a small plant, around 6 cm tall with flowers that are as large or larger than the plant, some 6-8 cm. It is reputed to be temperature tolerant, but it grows best for me under cool conditions in live sphagnum and a net pot.
