Alaticaulia bennettii
Alatacaulia bennettii or Masdevallia bennettii is a species belonging to the group of Masdevallias that have triangular flower spikes (in cross section) and that bloom successively with one or two flowers at a time. The species is from Peru and is 12-15 cm tall with flower spikes somewhat longer than the leaves and large 6-8 cm flowers. It is warm-growing but seems very temperature tolerant since I grow it cool to intermediate. It is in a pot in live sphagnum and seems to like a lot of water.
