Masdevallia sanctae-inesae

A charming miniature orchid from Andean cloud forests, appreciated for its neatly structured blooms and vigorous compact growth. The flowers follow the classic Masdevallia form — fused sepals tapering into slender tails — with warm, softly toned coloration that gives this species a quiet elegance.
