Buccella dynastes
Also and perhaps better known as Masdevallia dynastes, this
small species is from Ecuador. The plant is 10 cm tall and the flowers
2 cm. The plant tends to have a climbing habit, but I grow it in a small
net pot in live sphagnum moss. It is supposed to be temperature tolerant, but I grow it with other cool-temperature species. The oddly shaped and colored flowers
are produced during the winter.

Another striking species, Ron. A small wonder with original flowers and also seems that it flowers in abundance. Congratulations on the crop that I imagine that it is difficult. A hug
ReplyDeleteThanks and hugs, Angel. It is an unusual species, isn't it. It certainly is one I wouldn't be without.
