Those are really nice and a good way to start out on Masdies. Congrats.

thanks - the yellow one has had blooms constantly since I got it. Right now there are the three open blooms, 1 fat bud, 3 smaller spikes. Haven't spotted any new spikes for a while. It does desperately need a repot. The Golden Tiger has a new spike, so hopefully I can get a better photo of it

The other is growing, but no spikes.

We recently had a couple days of daytime highs around 90, but overnight lows were lower 50s, so, so far they've been fine

Aww - I'm sure you will get them blooming! Seems you get everything else to bloom - even the Asian Ghost! The two of mine had already started to bloom when I got them, so I have an advantage there. The trick will be if I can get the other one blooming, and how I do after they've been in my care longer

They are beautiful & look very healthy!
Looks like you have the right growing conditions for them.
Thanks for showing them to us Sonya, I look forward to seeing how you do as I have never tried to grow these.

Thanks - well, they like the conditions so far, we'll have to see when we get hit by a real heat spell - tho, we did have a couple days a bit ago that were mid-upper 90s, but the heat is for short periods, so maybe it will be ok.
