Masdevallia erinacea - my first Masdie in bloom!
 
:waving
So, after many tries, one dead and 2 not blooming yet, this third one, erinacea, did make me extremely happy. There are 4 spikes, 3 fully open, and blooms are actually much bigger than I did expect. It is mounted on hygrolon grown on the top of the cylinder, under the fan and light, temps inside the vase range between 70-76. I love this one, so interesting, hairy, cute!

Nice mine just had 1 bloom. Your micro plants look way happier than mine. I'm impressed

Yummy flower....the color, texture and shape of the bloom is quite interesting.

Tom!!! Beautiful I think the most I had in mine was 6 but then they shortly went down after mounting, it haven't seen it bloom since then!!! You are doing much better with it than I am. is it closer to the bottom of your cylinder or closer to the top?


Great job Tom!!! I'm jelous of yours seems soo happy!!!

Thanks Hector. I was surprised to see 4, it is mounted on Hygrolon only since September:-) It is on the top, where it is not dump at all times, right under herradurae, and it has pretty good light level, filtered from the top and also from the side:-) I did fertilize it weakly maybe some 3 times.

Many thanks everyone, I love Masdies, but they don't love Miami weather so much, so happy I make one bloom, even if it is grown inside:-)

Wow! Amazing Masdie blooms. They sure like your hygrolon stick.

i've got a whole bunch of Hygrolon lying around and no imagination. Any suggestions?

TOMMYMIAMI 12-02-2013 01:14 PM

Many thanks everyone! Hygrolon rocks so far!
