THE MASDEVALLIA FLOWERS

Well nice to see it is not pink and is instead red cantred with white edges. There is a second one that will be different and does have different leaves even.

One type has a stem to the leaves while the other has either no stem or a very short one. There IS a similar family of Orchids to Masdevallia called Dracula. I kid you not on the name and that is the scientific name to the genus. Not familiar with what the actual plants looks like with the Draculas.

But the Dracula flowers have a similar look to the Masdevallias.

Cannot remember but these have a common name but it might be a double common name whereby another groupf of Orchids are commonly known as. This could be Jewel Orchid, like Ludisia, but might be Gem Common names are doubled up a great deal and maybe even tripled with the Obvious ones being Butterfly Orchid.
