Masdevallia regina

[Polarizeme]

Forgive the photography, I'm still getting my feet wet with the macro lens

I had hoped for a more pale tending toward yellow bloom. It's beautiful nonetheless. There are several buds and a couple of new spikes emerging.

Thanks Tommy. This is my "Holy grail" Masdevallia. I have several from the Durae subcategory to collect yet.

Yes I have a few shots. Most of them are up close. What would you like to see? I'm back in the greenhouse in a few minutes, I'll take the camera and get a shot of the whole plant. It's got large leaves, at least for what I am used to with all my smaller Masdevallias. The spikes are about 12" long! The plant is truly majestic!
I'll try and post a few more this evening.

Here is a shot of the plant with a plastic gallon jug to give you perspective on the size of this plant.



Here is a side view of the open bloom.

That's beautiful! Reminds me of ones I saw at Golden Gate orchids earlier this year.
