Work buddy - Masdevallia
This Masdevallia Hampshire Prolific is blooming for me in my office, in s/h, and (gasps) under my table lamp!
I got it about 2 month ago without blooms so I am taking all the credit  and i get to literally watch it grow when i am bored at work. |

Really cool!
And yes, if you got it without blooms then you can take ALL the credit  In my experience getting a masda to bloom even after they spike can by tricky. Mine blasted on it's first attempt but is having another go now. |

Oh yeah, and how great to have one at work. I don't have enough light or even a table light so don't think it would work for me.
Interesting that you are growing S/H. I had not thought of that for Masdas, mine are in moss even though I don't usually grow in moss.

Thank you!
My AC at home was broken. It was over 95F outside and my Masdie was shedding leaves like crazy. So I took it to work as there is always AC running. And it was doing better than ever! So I just left it there. Too bad I dont have window so I have grow under desk lamp.

happy masdy in the office!!
nice happy masdy wants to have a job too ...can he type?
I have some orchids in the office where I work and someone spilled hot coffee all over one and I took him home and he was wounded...ruined the bloom and one part of him was dying from being burned by hot coffee..
I like having some work buddies too.

Sorry, Anisa - I'm going to take some of the credit on this one, too.
That's a hybrid I made!
I was tired of Masdevallias being only for specialized growing conditions - I crossed the two best-performing plants we had (in Phal-growing conditions) to make the cross. The parents are Copper Angel 'Highland' and floribunda.
