Masdevallia Falcata

[Bolero]

I like this one, it's a good flowering. Sometimes I get an unusual shape or lots of reflexing but this time it's flat and fairly even. Colour is very good....unusual time of the year to flower for this one though, normally spring to early summer......

Oh my! After seeing this one I think it is my "new" favorite of the genus.

sorry this is an old thread, but is this one warmth tolerant? i think im in love

[Tindomul]

oh i missed this one. A real beauty!

[RosieC]

Gorgeous, I missed it as well and it's wonderful.

Sorry Bob, I can't help with whether it's warmth tolerant.

I love all your wonderful collection of Masdevallias

Wow thanks, I have a heap more in flower. I need to post some photos soon.

Thanks for the kind words.

P.S. I think it tolerates up to about 90F. But it depends on the climate and humidity. I have heard that these struggle in my climates in the USA, especially those that have to grow inside in winter. But I have no problems growing this one in some very warm conditions. Mind you it grows cold outside from late autumn to late spring.

so i should watch the humidity closely? thanks alot

cant wait for more pics...

Humidity is important, I would monitor humidity as closely as possible especially during dry weather. Having said that mine survive ok even in low humidity which I think I manage quite well with misting.
