    Default Lepanthes ionoptera

    A very showy and vigorous Lepanthes species. Relatively large flowers for the size of the plant.
    I've included pictures of two different color forms.
    Photographed at a nursery in Ecuador.

    Awesome Lepanthes! With that many flowers on the spike, it really wants to be Pleurothallis.
