Masdevallia Copper Angel
 

In the summer I picked up a Masdevallia Copper Angel during an orchid nursery visit on my way home from vacation (along with some other orchids of course :coverlaugh:)

It's been developing spikes/buds the last couple of months and now it's in flower for the first time. I'm thrilled, I love it. 4 flowers in total :biggrin:

That's a nice one Rosie.

Very pretty!

Beautiful! I think that this is the one I should have got. I bought a nice Andean prince at an orchid show because it was cheap. It isn't a good bloomer even though it's healthy.

Thanks everyone I'm really pleased with it :)

The flowers spikes are far more compact than veitchianna. My veitchianna has long long spikes going everywhere on the bench, this one holds them more upright even when the flowers are open and they are probably about 1/3 the length but still hold the flowers nicely above the plant. The flowers are a little smaller than veitchianna but still a good size.

Very very nice ,Rosie

Pretty color! Great photos!

Beautiful!
