ID and hello
 

Hi all, I'm new to this fourm and orchids. My name is Jesse and im from Tassie Australia, I picked up this orchid. but it had no ID tag, so if anyone can ID it would be much appreciated :)

It's a Masdevallia of some sort, I would assume it's a hybrid...hopefully someone more versed in Masdies will chime in...

I agree with Adam, and will add its very pretty, but can't help with a more accurate id.

Thanks Adam and phearamedusa :)

looks very much like Masdevallia Pichincha, which is a hybrid available in Australia. Check thos thread: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...devallias.html I would suggest to contact and ask 'Bolero' for his advice/opinion, as he has this hybrid in Australia.

Really pretty Masdevallia. Does look a lot like the one Ramons suggests, or at least a very similar hybrid.

Love the flower, very nice find. Welcome to the Orchid Board. Your now a member of a great group.
Enjoy!

That is a lovely Masdevalia.
And welcome to OB. What you will learn here about orchids is better than any university.

Thanks for all the welcomes. yeah i think it is what Ramón said, from what i have found on the net.. there are a few aussies with this one :), but i will ask Bolero as well. thanks again :)

Hi and welcome to the forum. I personally don't think it's Pichincha although it could be a parent. I am not sure exactly what it is though. Do you know Peter Jackson in Somerset (near Burnie?). They may be able to help you ID this one or you could try this company:

Sorry I can't help with that one. I am from Tasmania originally as well.......good to meet you.
