Hi, betoguerrero! I'd be interested in some seed too. Would that be possible?

I can try.... but I don´t really be interested in sobralias.... let me search in the following months some seeds... do you know how long need a plant to make some seeds???? I can collect them of course for you.... I don´t know the name of this white... This flowers are beautifull to see ... one day I collected a sobralia crocea... very very beautifull with a nice orange color, the flower doesn´t open.... is like a masdevallia lucernula.... really nice but in my house with my conditions died.... maybe i can collect one of this for you too... anyway be patient my friend...

I'm guessing seed pods will be ready in about 7 months from pollination.

OK.... is a long time....
please can you remind me to collect the seeds in march... maybe I can forget that...
Yes it could be the S. virginallis but in the IOSPE enciclopedia said that grows only in Colombia.... maybe is not the same... but it match with the photo... |

Sure, no problem. I gotta remind myself too! 
Yeah, that was weird how on the Internet Orchid Encyclopedia it says it grows in Colombia, but the flowers look like the ones in your picture growing in Ecuador.
Would it be a bother for the Sobralia crocea too?

Sure not!!
I´ll collect the seeds of S. crocea for you too, but for me is so difficult to grow... three plants that I picked up died... maybe you need some of the conditions near the road... this plants are terrestrial ... they need a poor soil ... direct sun (maybe 1/2 day) and lots of water... anyway if you wish...

All I need to know is the kind of soil they grow in, (sand, rock - if it's rock, a general idea of what kind; volcanic, limestone, sandstone, etc., leaf litter, or humus). A picture of the ground it grows in is good.
Temperature (night and day if possible), altitude (doesn't have to be exact), humidity, and light exposure.
I can grow a lot of different kinds of orchids here. I can grow many different kinds of Masdevallias (cool to warm growing species only; the cold growing ones I can't, gets too hot in the summer).
Thank you very much.

MMMmmmmm lots of questions and I try to answer...
I´m not a geologist... but in this town are lots of stones volcanic .... pumice i think!!! 1 -2 cm of leaf litter ... and sandstone the color of the ground is light grey .... they grow in the pendant of the road 30 - 40 º
The temperature I think is intermediate: nights 15 º C and day 25ºC or more ...
This plants grows in the begining of the cloud forest at 2500 meters high...
Humidity high and direct sun light ... but this town is very cloud.... thats what I know, the photo of the ground ... pendent...
