Lepanthes arenasiana

This contrasting coloured flower shows petals with lower lobules thinner than upper ones, indeed contrastingly shaped, twisting upwards. The red structures are the lip lobules or should I say wings?.

 

This is a recent finding for Costa Rica, maybe an endemic species hailing from around 2000m.
