Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F). I grow this plant mounted on a small piece of cedar in a Wardian case in Houston, TX, so it is possible to grow cool growing orchids in the deep south!
Comments: A true jewel of the high Andes, this delightful species has single-flowered, pendant inflorescences that bear flowers of brilliant, glowing red, surprisingly orange basally and on reverse of all parts of the calyx with pale flush of lavender at point at which the dorsal sepal narrows; lateral petals off-white with thin red lines down midrib, distinct point extending from midrib distal tip; lip narrow, resembling a tongue if viewed from flower opening; flowers face downwards, string-like dorsal sepal hangs over opening of flower, much like M. ignea. Substance firm, texture velvet; natural spread 1.7 cm, 2.2 cm vertically; dorsal sepal 0.9 cm long, 0.6 cm wide, lateral; sepals 2.2 cm long, 0.9 cm wide; lateral petals minute, lip minute.
Overall, a highly interesting and attractive species with an intriguing flowering habit and very attractive flowers. There is no fragrance that I can detect.
