Ezil now this gets the heart pumping. Good job!

I was just give a great book for a recent B'day entitled

Masdevallias
Gems of the Orchid World
by Mary E Gerritsen and Ron Parsons

Brilliant book, chock full of info. Ron Parsons is an amazing photographer.

Oh my goodness! You have a large specimen that has rewarded you with those magnificent display of blooms !
I hope one of my Masdies would bloom for me this season...I never got any to bloom for me last year.

ACK2: I don't know how often I've taken this book out or the library, sometimes just to look at the pictures again!
Bud: I'm still surprised that I actually enjoy growing pleurothallids. They are just the right type of finicky for me. Good luck with yours!
