Thanks!
Huh, I don't think I've heard of a spotted variety of this species. I
have heard of a few misidentified spotted specimens, though. Do you happen to have Icones Pleurothallidinarum XIII (Luer, Carlyle)? It has a great dichotomous key for properly identifying Restrepia.
BTW, if anyone happens to have that book available, I'm looking for a copy!

Thanks Kevin! I'm super happy with that shot, especially since that was without a macro lens! I shot these using the 18-55mm kit lens that came with my Canon 300D. To cut down on movement, I used a tripod and timer since I don't have a remote shutter. Hopefully, once I can afford a new lens, I'll be able to get even closer
My plant loves being in its terrarium and it sits around 80% humidity or higher. I definitely think this species likes to stay moist.
