Masd. mendozae
 

One of my favorites. Looks a bit like an orange slug.

That's really a nice one, a favorite of mine too. I used to have one, but I "lost" it a couple of years ago in an unfortunate "greenhouse heat wave" incident, while I was on vacation.

But . . . if I'm not mistaken, I believe your local slugs are much, MUCH larger than that cute little mendozae.

They are indeed!!!

Very nice, Ron! I love mendozae. I just love that orange! But, due to temp issues, I'll probably have to get myself a mendozae hybrid instead at some point.

One of the best Masdevallias in my collection always flowers and along with the yellow one always draw comments from visitors. Congratulations on a lovely orchid.

I love love love the color of this one...but I'm not crazy about the tubular shape. I tend to go for the Masdies that scream "Hey! Look at me!!!"

:rofl:

The flowers are fairly large and it blooms prolifically which makes up for the tubular shape, though in this case it is so odd that I like it anyway.

I like it...and I LOVE the color...it's just not my favorite Masdie :( We can't all agree on everything ;)

Very nice Ron

I had this one years ago and it was my very first Masdie. I could not give it cooler temps as I was growing everything warm. So it struggled in my care and I decided to trade it before it died on me.

Now that I can grow Masdies I really need to look at adding this to my collection again
