Well here is a super bright and pretty flower to chase the blues away.
First time flowering a Masdevallia and I am thrilled even though I cant take 100% credit for this bloom. It
has grown surprisingly well in the three months I’ve had it, however. This was purchased from Ecuagenera in January and is living in my intermediate/cool terrarium. So far it’s putting out 6 growths, lots of roots, and 7 buds (other 3 should be opening in a few weeks and I have no idea how long they last). Nice and fragrant too. Fragrance is always hard for me to describe but I would say it’s spicy, sweet and not at all unpleasant.
