Beautiful! I saw this species growing in-situ at the top of the mountain overlooking Mach Picchu about 20 years ago, quite stunning. It was growing in a fairly open wet grassy area, but the sun didn't come through the clouds that often when I was there. Maccu Pichu is 2430m, so I guess it was growing at around 2800m.
Justin thanks the info, it’s certainly one of the best Masdevallias and carriers one of the biggest blooms which can reach 5” or 12.7 cm span. You must of had an amazing trip.
What a beauty lovely colour and it looks quite big thanks for sharing with us nice to see you again
It has one of the biggest blooms in the Genus.
