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.

Recently in bloom, this small species is also found under the name Masdevallia amaluzae.  Both plant and flowers are 3 cm, but the flowers are held well away from the plant on 6-8 cm spikes.  It seems to do best mounted and blooms reliably every spring.  I grow it with my other cool-temperature species.
