My first Masdevallia I've had bloom
 

This s a Masdevallia Someone gave to me. Didn't think I could keep it alive. It now has this flower plus two other buds.Attachment 11385

Thanks for looking.

Excellent work!

How are you growing this one?

I have quite a few Masdevallias. . .I love them!

Congrats on your first bloom on your masdie :clap:
I only hope mine bloom as well :D

What a brilliant color! all mine are just white or cream colored.

I grow mine in clay pellets. They get fed DynaGrow. Its under lights near the floor to stay cool.

OMG, you know it hadn't occured to me to measure the temp at floor level. . .DUH!

Running to go check.

Very nice!

Congratulations!
I haven't been successful with Masdevillia so far - then one I had unluckily didn't survive.

Beautiful bloom. I have two I bought in bloom about a year and a half ago. I have growth, but no bloom. I'm keeping mine down in the daylight basement on a windowsill. It wasn't doing anything on the main floor.
Don't know what's going to come of it here at my end, but I do love your bloom! Thanks for sharing! :)

That is SO interesting!
What a big DUH for me!!! :duh:

Floor space might be the answer to some of my temperature "issues" ;)

Thanks :clap:
Love the Masdie too :drool:
