Masd. mendozae

One of my favorites. Looks a bit like an orange slug.

That's really a nice one, a favorite of mine too. I used to have one, but I "lost" it a couple of years ago in an unfortunate "greenhouse heat wave" incident, while I was on vacation.

But . . . if I'm not mistaken, I believe your local slugs are much, MUCH larger than that cute little mendozae.

They are indeed!!!

Very nice, Ron! I love mendozae. I just love that orange! But, due to temp issues, I'll probably have to get myself a mendozae hybrid instead at some point.

One of the best Masdevallias in my collection always flowers and along with the yellow one always draw comments from visitors. Congratulations on a lovely orchid.

What a pretty color!

I love love love the color of this one...but I'm not crazy about the tubular shape. I tend to go for the Masdies that scream "Hey! Look at me!!!"

The flowers are fairly large and it blooms prolifically which makes up for the tubular shape, though in this case it is so odd that I like it anyway.

I like it...and I LOVE the color...it's just not my favorite Masdie We can't all agree on everything

Very nice Ron

I had this one years ago and it was my very first Masdie. I could not give it cooler temps as I was growing everything warm. So it struggled in my care and I decided to trade it before it died on me.

Now that I can grow Masdies I really need to look at adding this to my collection again
