Masdevallia sanchezii
 

You gotta love mini masdevallias. This one has been reluctant to bloom. I watched six buds drop before I moved it to a slightly more humid area. Just after the buds drop, new ones appear on the same inflorescence. I should have waited for more flowers but didn't want to take any chances.

I started using condiment cups as pots. They work great. I drill holes in the bottom. Then stuff em with live moss. I keep a few spare ready for propagation. I think this one had horsey sauce.:)

Ooooooh, added to wish list!

Real nice. I love the mini's. I use condiment cups for my small A.V.'s and they work great.

Very nice! I love the stripes!

I love it, and I'll be looking out for it!
How do you get moss to grow? Unless it's growing on a mount, it simply will not grow on pots for me.

Thank you all. I grow in an aquarium, under flourescent lights, with mist three times a day. Moss grows like crazy. I have to "weed" my orchids of moss. Sometimes it will quickly overgrow some of the smaller plants. I also grow different species of moss for different plants depending on their size. Some grow long and stringy others short like a carpet. I think I have seven different types. The moss reminds me of bonsai.

Holy smokes! That's fabulous! :wtg:

Now that's a mini Masdevallia :verycool:.

Thanks. I got it via pre-order from Ecuagenera last year at SEPOS's Longwood show.
