Lepanthes woodburyana, gold, red and orange

[Ricardo in PR]

This orchid, known in some circles as the "babyboot orchid" is a common ephypite in the upper reaches of the El Yunque National Forest in the eastern part of Puerto Rico. Although common, due to their diminute size, they can be easily missed. If you ever visit the forest bring a magnifying lens so you can enjoy the full beauty of this colorful, but tiny flower. As far as I know this species is not in cultivation. It is endemic of the island of Puerto Rico.
