Masd vargasii x Masd triangularis
 

This is a great little guy from I.N. Komoda. It has bloomed 3 or 4 times since I have it, which hasn't been very long!
This will be the first time for multiple spikes...there's a second one halfway there :dance:

So cute, the way the little "tongue" flaps up and down :rofl:

Awesome, Sue! I do love this guy. Is yours also fragrant?

I can't tell right now...I have the "cold-that-won't-go-away"! :faint:

Very cute! Great rich yellow.

Wow Susanne....this is really cool! :clap:

I love the stripes...:biggrin: Thanks for sharing it with us.

Oh Sue. I hope you feel better soon. The blooms seem to be long-lasting, tho, so you will probably still get the chance to sniff it out! It's a fantastically lemony scent.

I just learned something new about this plant...DON'T cut the spike when the bloom drops!

The bloom on mine dropped over a week ago but I've been too busy...or lazy...to cut down the spike. Since yesterday, I have been looking more closely at it and thought I was imagining things but there is at least one more bud, possibly two!

I checked Orchidwiz and found that triangularis only gives one bloom per spike but vargasii gives multiple blooms, one at a time! This hybrid seems to have inherited that trait!

Mine also has a second spike budding! I hope they bloom together

Sue if you like the spikes that give you multiple blooms, try the Masd. amplexa. Mine is getting ready to open it's fifth bloom from the same spike.

I love the streaks running through the bloom - another for the list.

Thanks Brooke...is that a warmth-tolerant Masdie? Do you have a picture?
