Default ID of Ecuadorian Flower

Hi,

Calling myself an amateur botanist would give me too much credit, so
I'm hoping the experts can help me with this one:

Bought at a flower market in Ecuador. I've tried to use North
American dichotomous keys and gotten nowhere.

Can anyone help me ID this flower species/subspecies?

Thanks so much!

-Katy
