While I was out with the dog enjoying a perfect winter day on the snowshoes, these three guys finished opening up. They're continuing my strange trend lately of having only one bloom at a time on each plant, but hey, with colors like this in the dead of winter, who's complaining?
1) Masdevallia tonduzii 'Makawao' - about 2 inches across, big for the size of the plant.
2) Maxillaria variabilis, burgundy form - tiny bloom, intense colors, great smell if you stick your nose right into it. Just noticed a bunch more buds.
3) Dendrochilum cobbianum - not sure why I've gotten addicted to these things and their strange, but not unpleasant, smell. I now have six different Dendrochilum species, always looking for more.
Thanks for looking!
