    Looks like a Masdevallia until you see the sensitive lip.
    Cannot find similar either in Luer or Colombian Orchids.
    Anyone have any ideas? Porroglossum sp.colombia.jpg

    It certainly looks like a masdevallia. The lip is triggered? how long does it stay up after it has been sprung?

    I haven't noticed, but I waited 45 minutes and it was still up,so I photographed it anyway.

    I don't know if this holds for all porroglossums, but a number of them that I looked at seem to keep the lip in the close position for about 15 minutes and then in comes down. These also closed at night without being triggered.
