Masdevallias in flower right now

[Bolero]

Ok, they are staked to keep them off the foliage. They would not break but the caudae would be folded back if lying on the foliage. I used to just let them swin in the breeze but the flower shape was affected by the air moving the flowers around (and hitting each other). I have been advised by other judges to stake them so I have started doing that. They can stand upright but in the wind and in the car on the way to a show they move around a lot.
