Masd caloptera
My latest masdevilla species has its first flowering Masd caloptera.
Info from orchid Wiz:
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Ecuador and Peru. This epiphytic species was first discovered in northern Peru, but habitat location and elevation were not given. Plants have since been found in Peru on the western slopes of the Andes near Huancebamba in the Department of Piura. They grow in patches of mossy woods at about 9000 ft. (2750 m). This region has low rainfall but fog is common, and the patches of damp, mossy woods survive in sheltered valleys. Plants are found in northwest Ecuador in Pichincha Province west of Quito. In this region, plants grow in luxurious wet forests at about 6550 ft. (2000)
