Masdevallia species in spike and bloom
Just thought I'd post a few pics of what's spiking and beginning to bloom this month.

Thanks for the great pic shakkai! Though mine is a Masd. dynastes; the flowers look a lot alike, but I believe pachyura is a multifloral, while dynastes has only one bloom to a spike.

This plant blooms for me most of the year off and on; I suspect that if I gave it more frequent fertilisation it would be in bloom pretty much all the time. It does seem to grow better foliage under cool temps though...
