Masdevallia floribunda new pic. added
Not sure what variety this is, does not exactly match any of the pics except the for the maroon variety. But even then, this one seems to be a bit alba in color. I hope the sepals open up a bit more, but in all the past bloomings it has not. However, this is a much improved flower because this is the longest peduncle it has had in all the blooming events since I purchased this little guy in 2006. It is the first time the flower has extended well above the foliage. However, this time there was only 1 bloom. Hopefully it will decide to send out more spikes soon.
Here is a new picture. It has opened up quite a bit more.

Here are some pictures of what its supposed to look like. What do you guys think. Is this a case of mistaken identity, or am I not giving the plant what it needs? Or worse, do I have a defective Masdie??

Thanks! Now I feel better. Where did you get yours from? I got mine from Andy's Orchids.

Seems ok to me,sometime a plant will do its own thing and be unlike all the others, just like people.
