Masdevallia Gold Dust
This is a primary hybrid of Masd. rex x Masd. veitchiana. I got it from Ecuagenera in Feb. It had several old blooms when I got it but they didn't do justice to it. This is my first re-bloom of it and it is a good size with gorgeous colour and texture. I think a lot of the veitchiana shows on this one with the purple tinge on the hairs in the throat.
For those looking for more warmth tolerant Masdies, Pepe at Ecuagenera told me they are starting to do quite a bit of breeding using Masd. rex which is more warmth tolerant than many.
