Southern California is a really big place, and I'm delighted to add another contributor to this "online society". My pix are at the end. There are a few species that are shown by more than one person, but it's amazing how many DIFFERENT things people grow and bloom, in every season.

What a stunning variety. Truly something for everyone.

Nice photos and interesting to read some of the growing descriptions. I have an Angreacum germinyanum growing in windowsill vase culture in the uk and your post makes me think I could put it outside with my masdies for the summer. I've been unsuccessful getting it to bloom so far.

Thanks! Putting it outside with the Masdevallias could be very beneficial. Good air movement, and day-night temperature differential could be helpful. Mine really seems to love having the roots run wild and free... Of course I have the benefit of a climate that lets that happen all year around, but even a few months of "freedom" sounds like a good option where you live.

I can't believe it's been half a month since we last met! I check and fort on this page everytime I plan to buy new species, and it surprises me every time.
