Ports of Paradise is the intense green I’m after, but I like a fuller flower and I’m reading that its scent is pretty mild. Anyone know if Prada Green Deluxe is more strongly scented?

Oh, you mean Masdevallias in general. No, I don’t keep them wet, that is a recipe for root rot. But it may be a matter of terminology - I keep Pinguiculas wet, and filmy ferns wet. Masdies I keep...
