Masdevallia ova-avis

Masdevallia ova-avis is endemic to Ecuador, where plants grow on the western slopes in northwest Ecuador at 2.000 meters (6,500 feet) in dense cloud forests and on steep road embankments. It is a medium- to large-sized epiphyte or terrestrial that blooms with flowers that have a spicy perfume. It blooms in winter, spring, and summer. Water and fertilizer should be reduced somewhat in the winter but never allow them to dry out completely.
