I have been interested in warm tolerant Masdevallias since long ago... I have purchased some "so-called" temp tolerant plants, but without much success in tehir culture...
Until I had the chance to purchase my first (and only - cause too expensive!
) Masdevallia rex and some of her (cheaper) hybrids... This one is just fantastic (rex x glandulosa) and has been for the last 6 months in the greenhouse with my Catasetinae (which means: WARM!)... I placed it outside 3 weeks ago, when started blooming, and it is doing very well... maybe with a bit lower temps I would have gotten more flower (who knows!?), but at least it is growing and blooming!
Sometimes it is reported that this hybrid is fragrant.. well... not my plant
