Masdevallia glandulosa
I thought this wouldn't bloom anytime soon. It was doing well, blooming and growing new leaves, and then suddenly it stopped growing leaves. So I figured it would not bloom until new leaves came out. I was wrong. A few weeks ago I cleared wet moss from around the roots and soon it was sending out a bloom again. Here is a new flower, pictured today. I have changed the conditions around the plant slightly so that it can get more ventilation.

I'm growing it mounted, in my vivarium with moss growing like crazy around it. It gets several hours of fog, misted twice daily for 1 minute each. I just increased ventilation by removing other plants that were blocking the air current. The temps stay between 57 - 70.
