Orange Lepanthes sp., La Isla Escondida, Colombia Quite a beautiful and intact lepanthes (miniature orchid) found by our guide Manuel. Species ID is in progress but the first signs are not that promising. My go-to expert can normally ID almost any lepanthes directly from memory but this one does not ring a bell yet. He suggests it belongs to a group of species similar to Lepanthes agglutinata, with a good chance of this one being undescribed.<br /> <br /> I contacted two other experts and have posted it in a lepanthes group, will update this if/when I know more.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/72383/orange_lepanthes_sp._-_closeup_la_isla_escondida_colombia.html" title="Orange Lepanthes sp. - closeup, La Isla Escondida, Colombia"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/72383_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=w%2FN%2FZYZPi2%2BwV5c8XgyIWbJQpfE%3D" width="200" height="182" alt="Orange Lepanthes sp. - closeup, La Isla Escondida, Colombia Quite a beautiful and intact lepanthes (miniature orchid) found by our guide Manuel.
