Masd. datura
Huge flowers on a small plant and fragrant - a perfect miniature orchid.

It bloomed again! Wow, that like two times in one month for you. Congrats. It is really really beautiful, and it has a very good name.

Thanks, Tindo. It continues to bloom, or so it seems, over a rather extended period of time.

I grow it like my other Masdevallias, 3 inch net pot, live spahagnum, intermediate to cool temps. It would probably also do well and look good mounted.

Beautiful! It really does look somewhat like a datura!
I'm just getting back in to the masdevallias. I'll have to see what's at the Nanaimo show tomorrow.
