Masdevallia mendozae, orchid species

Masdevallia mendozae, orchid species, orange flowers. Rare. Masdevallia mendozae is rather easy in cultivation and one of the most heat-tolerant species, besides that it has very unusual flowers – orange or yellow tubes that resemble macaroni pasta. Pollinated by hummingbirds, who are attracted to the tubular form and vivid color, seeking nectar; the form ensures accurate pickup of pollinia by the bird.
