Default Masdevallia strobelii
This is the first Masdevallia I have ever managed to keep alive for more than one month I have it since more than six months, it survived the hot summer, and is currently in bloom... In the past I have tried other 4 Masdevallias (3 species in Venezuela, and one hybrid) and none of them surkived the month...

P.S.- I think I will try some other Masdies with similar temp requirements...

well, I can add that this little guy can tolerate quite high temps too

For me the trick was watering only with RO water, and fertilizing only once a month...

Lovely thing, isn't it? Passes on the hairs in the tubular part of the flower to its hybrids.
