Description
Masdevallia is a genus of about 500 orchid species native to Central and South America. Since they typically grow as epiphytes on trees in regions of higher elevations, they are adapted to cooler conditions and not easy to cultivate at home, therefore. Hybridization of cool growing species with the few Masdevallias that can stand higher temperatures brought results in the recent years that are more tolerant of suboptimal conditions, such as the one in the picture.
