First Masdie spike: prodigiosa

[NatalieS]

I'm jumping the gun a bit with this one, but since this is my first Masdie to spike, you can imagine I'm a little over-excited.

Masdevallia prodigiosa arrived with a number of other cool-growing Masdies in early August last year. It has nearly doubled in size since then, but this is the first sign of flowers. There are at least two more spikes which are not clearly visible yet.




For me, this has been a fuss-free plant. I soak it about once a week and it has lived outside nearly the whole winter. I've only brought it in when temps went below 2C at night.
