Masdevallia (Regalia) titan
Have had this plant for over a year if not more than a year and a half. Nice large leaves, and equally large flower!!! I know I love it!!!!!!!
Masdevallia titan Luer, is named for its large size referring to the giant titans of Greek myth. It
comes from the Amazon basin of Peru, which should make it a tough species in terms of exposing it to
intermediate to slightly warm temperatures. It is very similar to M. goliath, and can be distinguished by
the synsepal that forms an almost 90 degree angle from the dorsal sepal. The plant and flowers are
larger than in M. goliath. The sepals are dark red to brown, mostly smooth with a few hairs near the
center where it becomes deeply concave in contrast to M. goliath.

I couldn't believe the bright red orange on it either. I started seeing it the night before it opened up. I think this one has the nicest colour of all my Masdies.

Updated Picture
Here is an updated picture. As promised by the written description, the lower sepals of this Masdie have folded backwards so as to be a 90 degrees to the dorsal sepal. Just amazing!!! Attached is not the best picture, but you can see what I mean.
