Masdevallia Morenita
Hello all,
I finally got a sunny afternoon coming in through my window and I wasn't otherwise busy. Here I present Masdevallia Morenita, which I received from Ecuagenera in Sept-Oct or so. This one had me distressed because even though it has been blooming sequentially since late November, the blooms have been deformed. In fact, the first buds never made it to bloom. I noticed that each time a new bloom made it out it got better and better. What I have been doing is increasing humidity and probably it has better roots now than before.
The parents are Masdevallia ayabacana x Masdevallia theleura.
I will post updates as the blooms get better. Thankfully it's a sequential bloomer.
