Masdevallia norops Cyclanthaceae Dracula dalstroemii

Dracula dalstroemii

A charming miniature orchid from Andean cloud forests

making it a prized addition to any collection

but avoid prolonged shriveling of the pseudobulbs

and a three-lobed white lip with a pendant central lobe and vivid yellow callus
