'''Masdevallia veitchiana''', (pronounced "veech-e-anna") also known as ''"Veitch's Masdevallia"'' or ''"King of Masdevallias"'', is the most beautiful species of the [[Masdevallia]] genus of [[Orchidaceae|orchids]]. The plant is found in the wild in [[Peru]], where it is known as ''"Gallo-Gallo"'' (meaning ''"rooster"'' after the rooster-like red comb, crest and wattles of the flower)<ref name ="Borders"/> and [[Colombia]]. The plant was named in honour of [[Harry Veitch]], of the [[Veitch Nurseries]] family, by whose plant-hunters it was discovered in 1867,<ref name ="Perlite"/> and who imported, cultivated, and first flowered this species.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.pleurothallids.com/masdevallia_veitchiana.htm|title = Masdevallia veitchiana|author=Lynn O'Shaughnessy |publisher =www.pleurothallids.com|accessdate=11 October|accessyear = 2008}}</ref>

Long considered the national treasure of Peru, ''Masdevallia Veitchiana'' is one of the world's most beautiful orchids.<ref name="calorchid">{{cite web| url= http://www.calorchid.com/CALO/2Masvedallia/2Masdevallia03.html|title = Masdevallia Veitchiana|author= |publisher=Cal Orchid|accessdate=11 October|accessyear = 2008}}</ref> It is rumoured to have been cultivated by the [[Inca]]s centuries ago, who called the plant ''"Wajanki"''.<ref name ="Borders"/>

==Description==
This cool to cold growing, large, terrestrial, sometimes [[lithophytic]] or rarely [[epiphytic]], tufted species with erect leaves is found at a height of between 2000 and 4000 metres, including around [[Machu Picchu]] in Peru,<ref name ="Perlite"/> on steep rocky slopes covered with grasses and shrubs in full sun but with the leaves protected by the grass with short [[ramicauls]] enveloped by a series of tubular [[bracts]] with a linear-[[Glossary of botanical terms#O|oblanceolate]], tapered to the channelled [[petiolate]] base, acute, thick leaf that blooms in the spring and early summer with an erect, 39 to 44 cm. long, single flowered inflorescence carrying two distant, tubular bracts and a single inflated tubular, ovate floral bract with the long-lasting flowers held way above the leaves. The unequal colour distribution apparent in ''M. veitchiana'' is accorded to the presence of minute purple hairs on the sepals which lend a prismatic visual aspect to the flower. Viewed head-on with the light behind you, the colour is symmetrical.<ref name ="Borders">{{cite web| url= http://www.orchidspecies.com/masveitchiana.htm |title = Masdevallia Veitchiana |author=Dale Borders|date=2002 |publisher=www.orchidspecies.com|accessdate=11 October|accessyear = 2008}}</ref>
This species has unbelievable sizzling orange flowers covered in a pattern of small purple hairs that create a kind of iridescence as the flower moves in the breezes. The blooms are very large, approximately 5 cm. X 15 cm.<ref name="calorchid"/>

==Cultivation==
''M. veitchiana'' is an excellent plant for beginners and experienced growers alike. It grows quickly into a specimen plant and is quite spectacular when several flowers bloom together, usually between spring and summer. ''M. veitchiana'' prefers a cool, moist location but, like most orchids, requires good light to flower consistently. In poor light the flower stems tend to be weak, causing the flowers to droop.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.oscov.asn.au/articles/masd2.htm |title = Masdevallias and their cultivation|author=Alan Hope|publisher=Orchid Society of Victoria|accessdate=11 October|accessyear = 2008}}</ref> ''M. veitchiana'' prefers daytime temperatures from 15 to 25 degrees celsius and will tolerate evening low temperatures below 5 degrees. The plants will freeze, so care should be taken in times of severe frost or freezing temperatures.<ref name ="Perlite">{{cite web| url= http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/27/HO62V0LFP.DTL |title = Masdevallia Veitchiana — Striking orchid is Bay Area novice's dream|author=Tom Perlite|date=27 February 2008 |publisher=[[San Francisco Chronicle]]|accessdate=11 October|accessyear = 2008}}</ref>

==Propagation==
Because of extensive collection in the wild, ''M. veitchiana'' is rarely imported. It is, however, propagated quite easily both from seed and by division. The plants grow very vigorously and have a [[rhizome]] from which the thick, narrow leaves develop. This rhizome can be divided to create new plants with clumps of at least five to ten leaves per division. ''M. veitchiana'' has also been used extensively to create many hybrids with its distinctive orange color.<ref name ="Perlite"/>

Article

1/2 Lovesong

Portion used

The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.

Replaceable?

As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Other information

Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under the copyright law of the United States as described above.
