    Other photos I have seen of this species show the sepals with less red, almost yellow or amber color. If anyone believes this is something other than L. ovalis please let me know. This plant is always in bloom.

    Looks big for a Lepanthes! I love the spike shape of this species.

    The blooms are about 3mm wide and 5mm tall. However, the leaves are larger than any of the other Lepanthes I grow.

    Kelly, hi.
    VERY well grown plant.!Do you know what area your plant comes from? Is it Jamaica,or is it mainland S.A.? It is pretty widespread, and variations would be expected.

    Spiro, I bought this plant about 4-5 years ago from Andy's. At the time they were selling some miscellaneous, pot-luck Lepanthes species. This one was labeled as "Lepanthes species" with an origin of "Latin America".
