Masdie Ebay Buy, It's between ok and good
Hi all,
So my latest buy from Ebay is Masdevallia regina. I have purchased regina from other sources in the past and I have never seen one this big. I mean, this dwarfs all the others to the point where I am thinking this might be mislabeled or the others were. It's in bud, and the bud is jyust about ready, so I'll find out soon enough.
The plant looks healthy, but the roots were so-so. Many healthy roots but there were many dead that I had to cut off.

Still looks like you have plenty of roots for the size of the plant. Should do well. Anxious to see bloom pics
