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.

Luzama amaluzae

Luzama amaluzae or Masdevallia amaluzae is a small species from Ecuador and Peru.  The flowers are 3 cm on a plant the same size and are held on spikes that are 6-8 cm in length.  The plant blooms profusely and seems to prefer somewhat lower light and a mount rather than a pot.  My plant is grown cool and is on a piece of cedar.
