Dracula nosferatu

Nosferatu dracula

A Colombian Dracula with deep purple sepals broken by a white, scalloped halo around the column, named after the vampire film. It is known from only a few sites in degraded cloud forest around 2400 m in Antioquia, and in cultivation it needs the cool, saturated, shaded conditions of that forest.
