have no clue what this is -- orchid?


Question

mystery plant
I have had this for two years and never really knew what type of orchid or even is an orchid? It has a very cool flower and does well in bright light

Please help me solve !!!

Answer
Geoffrey, it appears to be a masdevallia orchid. Both the flower form and the leaves conform to the appearance of masdevallia.  It is a well grown, healthy plant.  Try googling "Masdevallia" and compare your plant to those you see.  It is not a common orchid in cultivation.
