This little guy is a blooming machine, typically every 2 months or so, usually 2-3 spikes each cycle. Sorry for the waterspots on the picture, I shot this through the acrylic sidewall of my vivarium.
Enjoy,
Adam

Sonya:
The parentage on this is (M. uniflora x M. decumana [M. Pixie Dust]) x M. coccinea alba... all cool/cold growers. It seldom gets temps above 78F here, with nights down into the mid 40's on the low end of the spectrum. What are you considering warm is the question I guess...

hehe - well, with that coloring, I didn't really expect warmth tolerance, but thought I'd ask ...

Indoors here, not usually above 80, 81 in summer for a bit in the late afternoon, but when there's extreme heat, it can get mid to upper 80s inside for a bit in the afternoon.

The few Masdies I have do ok now that they are all in clay pots, and near opened windows at night when it's much cooler, but they are supposedly somewhat warmth tolerant.

Oh well - It's gorgeous, and I'll just have to admire your photo!

I guess I'll have to move to the smokey mountains to be able to grow that beauty. Congrats, it's a real beauty!

I love the orchids that can bloom pretty much over and over for a months! Nice color as well!
