Masdevallia floribunda
Just got this one in bloom, there is one of the Florida growers having this one mounted on the kool log and growing it outside year round, she has really amazing huge plant full of blooms! So I did mount on the cool log and will hope it will acclimatize and established outside :-)

Interesting! Don't believe I've ever seen a floribunda that color before. Usually the ones I see are white to yellow.

Thanks everyone. Anna, kool log is special log made from pottery material that when filled with water cools down some 10 degrees. There is website for them. They allow to grow even some intermediate to warm species outside in hot Florida. I have Masdevallia and Dracula mounted on them, and they grow very well, Masdevallia survived without any stress the whole hot summer outside, Dracula can be kept outside year round except July and August when it is too hot even with the cool log.

You got the purple variety, I had one too. It was one of those Masdies that was easy for me to bloom. Congrats, its so great!
