Luzama amaluzae

Better known as Masdevallia amaluzae, this small species is from Ecuador and seems to do best mounted.  It blooms in the spring with 3 cm flowers held well away from the plant on 6-8 cm spikes.  It  blooms reliably every spring.  I grow it with my other cool-temperature species.

  1. Nice orchid. It looks exotic. You are fortunate to be able to grow these plants. I tried once, but didn't succeed.
