Masdevallia amabilis - My first Masdie blooming

[Paphy]

This is my first Masdevallia. It seems to really like living outside under 70% shade cloth. But it's Spring now and I worry about August temps here in So Calif. We'll see, may have to bring inside.

The two blooms shown here have lasted a 8 days so far although I did see less intensity in color today. The other three blooms are now a cpl/few days away from popping so I hope the two that are open last until I get all five showing at once for a group pic.

The 11 day old bloom pics are on page 2.
