This species is native to Brazil and Paraguay and can be found growing on trees, rocks or in the ground. Flowers are red with a hint of orange, with a central blaze of darker red and a green throat. The three upper petals are broader and larger than the three lower petals. Leaves do not die back during the summer dormancy, but they should receive limited watering during this period. Resume normal watering and fertilize in the fall for winter blooms.
