Very nice! Ron, are your masdevallias potted directly into clay pots or just sitting inside them?

I have only a few species potted in clay - those that seem to like it a bit wetter and cooler and they do well, but this is just set in a hand-thrown decorative clay pot for the purpose of photos - the plastic net pots don't look very nice in photos. |

Ron, do you grow in moss or in a mix? I really like the colors on this one.

I grow almost everything in live sphagnum, Bill. They do much better than in a mix, especially because I like to water a lot.

What drew me to this plant is the bright orange striping contrasted with stark white hairs. Very photogenic plant (if there is such a thing). And, of course, wonderful closeup photo, Ron!

Thanks, Nastia. It's scented too, which is a bonus.
