As always, this species is very very nice. Thanks for sharing.

It's nearly done blooming now, but I think at its peak it had about 20 flowers and this past winter was by no means its best year. It blooms over an extended period, however and probably had 30-40 flowers in all.

Wow! Lovely photos! It reminds me of mendozae. Is it similar or by chance easier to grow?

I always love this one, great pictures as always Ron.
This Masdie has such great orange flowers and looks relatively compact compared to some of my Masdies. I think I need to keep an eye out for one  |
