M. Shunkeana first bloom
 

My first post. This is my first bloom from this one. I love Maxillarias!!!! This my little M. Shunkeana or Brasiliorchis Shunkeana.

No photos. Got em now. Short, dark, and handsome. TY for sharing.

got the photos up now. :)

So dark and beautifully unique. Seems I'm unskilled with Max. but may try again. Good 4 u!

Beautiful! Love the color.

Oooh love it! Such a gorgeous color. I need to add this to my list! I really like the miniature Maxies.

It was a slow grower for me. She didn't do anything for a few months, no new growth or anything. I was worried, as all my other Maxi's constantly put out new growth. I keep it outside all summer with very little shade (even when its up in the low hundreds) it gets lots of very bright sunlight, and I let her dry almost completely before watering. I found it won't bloom unless the temps drop below 60f. Other than that very easy to care for.

Love that color. And welcome to the board.
