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.

Many thanks Kevin, yes, micro and minis are doing great here!

Many thanks Bud, as I wrote, first ever Masdevallia to bloom for me, exciting:-)

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.

Wow that's one cool looking masdie. Great growing!

Very interesting, nice job!

Bravo, Tommy!!! Great growing!

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:-)
