Masdevallia roseola.
 

This is the second masdie I'm trying. This one was purchased from Ecuagenera last March. I was dismayed to discover the plant had one viable root :( , but it had completely recovered and it's flowering. I divided the original in two upon planting to have better chances of survival, but both divisions recovered (got a replacement from the vendor too).
Potted with sphagnum with some fine bark mix, sprayed with rainwater daily, fertilized once per month, kept in fishbowls with gravel on bottom.

Good save. It is very lovely. Now I need one :)

Great job. Sounds like it takes inter. temps(?) so I may be able to add it to mine that do. Super color.

fantastic, really great save... how much light do you give it?

Thank you, I think a fluke on my part, really.
My house never goes above 72F (22C) year round, although the places I keep all 3 of my roseolas is probably one to two degrees cooler, but that again is probably brought up by "the fishbowls". Yes, definitely intermediate then.

Thanks, I'll try uploading more pics (had trouble last time, sorry).
In regards to light levels I actually did a little experiment: plant #1 is in a sunny room getting light from S, SW and skylight, but about 4ft away from either source, plant#2 on E windowsill and plant#3(replacement) is on NE windowsill.
Results: #2 flowered as first with most number of flowers (this is a small division of #1), #1 two weeks later with exactly half the amount of flowers, and #3 is still too early to tell since I got it in October.

Lovely plants.

Thank you guys!
Did I mention it's scented? It spreads a light aroma of cloves/cinnamon/fresh cut grass.
