Masdevallia Maui Lollipop in Bud

[RandomGemini]

Haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to share this triumph. I have been trying to bloom a masdie for a while. I picked this plant up last summer. Needed repotted badly. I got a good deal on it. So I got it home, put it in a net pot lined the bottom with hydroton, then a layer of chunky bark, followed by a layer of sphagnum moss, very thin at the top of the pot. I water it with tap water when the saucer is empty. Two to three times a week. I've fertilized it maybe twice?

So far I have found three buds. I hope I find more. I was going to repot it again this year, because the pot I used still seems a touch small for it, but if it's happy, I'm not messing with it!!
