Masdevallia veitchianna in flower

[RosieC]

My Masdevallia veitchianna only has one flower this time (it had up to 9 at a time in October/November) but it's still looking stunning in my greenhouse.

The plant has been starting to put on good new growth during the spring. It grows far more compactly than when I first bought it and I'm pretty sure it's due to higher light levels. Some of the new growths have struggled to free from their outer sheath which I think is due to lack of water (it got quite neglected over the winter).

Love this one
