Masd. Golden Monarch

[orchidsarefun]

I first tried a masdevallia about 5 years ago and was put off when the leaves all fell off literally overnight.
I recently got 2. The irony is that 1 of them is the one I had all those years ago. I guess I am a sucker for yellow.
The photo is a Golden Monarch and it's a wow. Massive bloom - at least 3in x 2in.
I'm hoping I can get these growing. I'm using distilled water and in my basement Winter temps are between 52-63f and humidity is around 43-47%.
Both have lots of new growths.
