Masdevallia barlaeana (pic)
Masd. barlaeana is a close relative of M. coccinea, and grows in bright filtered light high in the Andes. Temp range is 45-72F.
This is the best shot I could get, before my camera batteries died.
Enjoy!

Cool Masdie, Cj! Is it of the same size of M. coccinea?

how unfortunate that so many of the really beautiful Masdies are cool growers. *sigh* I'll have to just keep enjoying the work of others.....

Its not unfortunate for me!! Its what brought me back to growing orchids... I look longingly sometimes at all of those gorgeous vandas and other hot growers that some people can keep, but I've got Masdies as consolation when I am too tempted! |

Paul, that's how I've always felt too 
I recently discovered I. N. KOMODA ORCHIDS
and they specialize in Masdies that can be considered warmth-tolerant. Received an order last week that I am thrilled with...very healthy plants |
