Some confusion over this one. The tag says M. graciles, with cerifera in parentheses. IOSPE has a photo of cerifera, which looks nothing like this. Graciles is a much closer match. At any rate, I'm really proud of this one, especially since it's a first bloom. It did nothing the first year I had it, then suddenly doubled in size over this year and produced nearly 20 flowers, with more buds on the way. Faint fragrance, a bit like watermelon.
Bonus:
way more manageable than most Maxillarias; it's growing in a 3" pot, and the entire plant is about 8" tall.
Thanks for looking!
