"Pansy orchid"
Conservatory of Flowers, San Francisco
Native to: Peruvian Andes
This cheery orchid flower looks like a cross between a pansy and a butterfly. Native to the cloud forest, this orchid demands high humidity and cooler temperatures. An interesting adaptation of these epiphytes is that a number of species display markings on their lips which glow under ultra-violet light visible to bees, a likely pollinator.
The Miltoniopsis orchid was once considered a Miltonia. A separate genus was then formed, but the two are so often hybridized that all but the most serious orchid growers call Miltonia orchids Miltoniopsis.

Yet another play-with-lights-and-orchids photo. This time on a black background, without any ambient light in the room. Two flashes points upwards from the floor against the flowers, so that the petals are lit but not the floor nor the flower pot. A gold reflector bounces some light back onto the petals from above.
The same kind of flower, the same location, but different backdrop, lens and light: A very different photo
