Masdevallia

Masdevallia citrinella is a charming miniature orchid from the cloud forests of Ecuador. Its vivid lemon-yellow flowers are not only eye-catching but also quite rare among the genus, where orange and red tones are more common. This species grows naturally at altitudes of 1,500–2,200 meters, in cool and misty environments, making it a perfect candidate for terrarium culture or collections of mountain orchids. Despite its delicate look, it is surprisingly hardy when provided with constant humidity and gentle shade.
