Mediocalcar decoratum

Really put on a show this winter. Flowers are not long-lasting but one of the best miniatures nevertheless and easy to grow.

Wonderful!

I love this one, so cute, but I heard they are more cold growing so not for me:-(

Lovely plant, thank you for posting it. I found this at Andy's Orchids. They offer two plants--your plant and a variegated leaf variety. They have a sale going on so it is on order!

They are cool-growing, Tommy, and I don't know how they do under warmer temps. And, Matt, the variegated variety is much slower growing and a more reluctant bloomer in my experience.

Thanks, as always, Sonya.

Very pretty and cute little flowers!

I love it too but it is too hot here to grow this one. :/

[MattWoelfsen]

I'm not being facetious, but if it is too hot where you are, could you not grow inside with air conditioning?

[ronaldhanko]

Thanks, Orchidgirl, and Plumania, I first grew this indoors in Houston, as Matt suggests.

That is adorable, cool growing hum might have to go on my list then. Looks like it is mounted I am still wondering how mounted would do for me.

I have to see if I can do well by my Masdevallias, if they do well then we will see if I can get more of the cool ones that don't need allot of light.
