Wow. That's one of my favorite orchids and I just killed mine over the last few weeks. I can't get my temperatures cool enough.

Great job on the photography!

Fabulous photographs! I love how you've captured all of the little hairs. Great growing! I see you have this in a clay pot. What growing media are you using? Sphag?

It is indeed in a clay pot (quite tall pot actually). The bottom 1/3 is filled with grodan cubes (Rockwool) while the top 2/3 of the pot is pure sphag.

I am experimenting with several different mixs at the moment. Several of my Masdevallias are growing in pure grodan cubes with a topping of live moss. approx 2/3s of those in pure grodan are doing fantastic. The other 1/3 have not done well and have been moved back to sphag.
