I've also added a few other pictures on black and taken at an earlier date that I had not posted before.

Lepanthes ingridiana
Lepanthes ingridiana is a rare species from Ecuador whose
flowers are some of the largest in the genus. The plant itself is also
quite large for the genus, 15-20 cm tall. It bears a single 6 cm leaf
on an upright stem with the typical bracts of a Lepanthes and flowers that would be 8 cm long if laid flat. The
plants are native to Ecuador and Columbia and come from higher
elevations. They require cool temperatures in cultivation. My plant is grown in sphagnum moss in a plastic pot.

Lepanthes ingridiana
Lepanthes ingridiana is a rather rare species from Ecuador whose flowers are some of the largest in the genus. The plant itself is also quite large, for the genus, 15-20 cm tall. It bears a single 5 cm leaf on an upright stem with the typical bracts of a Lepanthes. The plants are native to Ecuador and Columbia and come from higher elevations. They require cool temperatures in cultivation.
The bright yellow spidery flowers are huge for the genus. Fully extended they would be around 7 cm long, but they tend to hang in a kind of half-circle under the leaves. The flowers appear successively with a new bud forming as the previous flower opens. The plant is almost always in flower, therefore, with each new growth adding its succession of flowers to those already blooming.

This is one of my favorite Lepanthes with its colorful and unusual flowers. It is also one of the larger plants in the genus.
