Masdevallia strobelii

Masdevallia strobelii is small species from Ecuador in the section Saltatrices, with the typical hair-lined tubular flowers of that section.  It is intensely fragrant, blooms prolifically, has brightly colored flowers and is easy to grow, everything that could be asked.  Mine is grown in a plastic net pot in live sphagnum.

    1. This is one of my favorite Masdevallias, not only for the colors but for its intense fragrance. When it blooms well it is covered with flowers.
