    Default Restrepia contorta

    I grow over a dozen of Restrepia species. I like them but I rarely take photos of them. I've found it is difficult to get a good photo of them.

    Maurice posted his...here is mine, a different color form. The actual color is darker.

    Thanks.

    I grow this one intermediateor cool side of intermediate. Some Restrepia can be grown under warmer condition.
    The flower on this one is about 1.25-1.5" long (roughly), plant is about 3" tall
