Trisetella hoeijeri is a tiny species that was once classified as Masdevallia. Most of the Trisetellas have small reddish-brown flowers with short tails, but this one, obviously, is different. The plant is a few centimeters tall and the flowers are 4 cm from tip to tip. My plant blooms with a lot of flowers in early winter, but produces an odd flower off and on throughout the year. It is from Ecuador and is grown mounted and cool.
Beautiful! I have to borrow the first image and use it for my iPhone5 lock screen. First thing I see everytime I pick up my phone.
