B. nodosa


Masd. tuerckheimii

Restrepia trichoglossa (yellow, also came in bud, I just didn't blast it)




Oeceoclades maculata (first of many blooms, not fully open)

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing

OMG, great stuff. I love your Masdevallia floribunda, but that M. tuerckheimii is amazing!

[Salixx]

Thank you for the kind words.

The tuerckheimii has been such a surprise. I thought it on death's door for months - no roots, growth... nothing. I reluctantly super glued it to a (largish) flake of moss covered wood and put it in my terrarium (not really where I wanted it) and away it went! Now it's growing everything and quickly. It's a great plant, IMO!

What beautiful flowers! Congratulations on all of them!

Do you think it to be any more difficult than M. floribunda or along the same lines? Just by looking at them I'd say they are closely related.

I haven't had the floribunda very long, but many places say the tuerckheimii is a subspecies of floribunda. Andy sells them, though his look different than mine- I get the feeling floribunda has a lot of variation. It has been pretty easy for me- hasn't died in 3+ months even without roots. I keep it in intermediate temps. 60-64 at night and 70-75 during the day.
