Beto,
Another great Restrepia! Congrats! I am wondering about the red leaves though. I see some pics with Restrepia having green leaves and some with red. Is this a matter of high light levels for this group or is it a varietal issue?

Hi Steve
Yes, a restrepia with the red leaves are beautifull!!!
But is only in the face down leave. I think is something with the light levels, but in some species.
And is not in all leaves from the same plant.

I´m not a restrepia expert, I only have a few plants but in my plants with the same light, this have red leaves: Gatulata, Trichoglossa, Hemsleyanna, Muscifera and Dodsonii.
This plants have green leaves: Flosculata, Mendozae and Cuprea.
You can see the cuprea and the Trichoglossa plants.
