Masdevallia Snow Cone
 

I have been interested in warm tolerant Masdevallias since long ago... I have purchased some "so-called" temp tolerant plants, but without much success in tehir culture...
Until I had the chance to purchase my first (and only - cause too expensive! :() Masdevallia rex and some of her (cheaper) hybrids... This one is just fantastic (rex x glandulosa) and has been for the last 6 months in the greenhouse with my Catasetinae (which means: WARM!)... I placed it outside 3 weeks ago, when started blooming, and it is doing very well... maybe with a bit lower temps I would have gotten more flower (who knows!?), but at least it is growing and blooming!
Sometimes it is reported that this hybrid is fragrant.. well... not my plant :(

WOW Ramon it's gorgeous, not what I pictured a "snow cone" to be though:lol:

Just got a piece of this from a fellow forum member lately. Had no idea what he would send and now I know what it will look like if I do right by it. Thank you and good growing.

Ramon, Have you tried masd. tonduzii? It is a warm grower, blooms profusely and is a mini. It would look so good with your snow cone, which is beautiful!

Thanks @ all! :)

tonduzii is one my wish list but I have not been able to find it yet. So far, I am doing well with Masd. rex, Masd. mejiana, Masd. lilacina & Masd lamprotyria (These two grow well, but do not want to flower yet), Masd. tovarensis, Masd. princeps, Masd. regina & Masd. ayacabana... ok, not all ofthem have bloomed, but at least are not dead :D

Really nice. And great that it's warmth tolerant.
