Masdevallia herradurae or Acinopetala herradurae is a small, floriferous species from Colombia and Ecuador. The plant is under 10 cm and the flowers are 2-3 cm. When the plant is in bloom the flowers look like a clouds of dark insects hovering around the plant. My plant is grown in a plastic net pot in live sphagnum.
You grow a lot of orchids varieties Ron. I used to have a lot of house plants. These last years, I usually leave for winter months so I don't keep anymore.
ReplyDeleteOrchids are hard to grow. I tried them once but wasn't very successful. You do a great job with them.
They are actually not so difficult once you get the hang of it. It's just that they are so different from other house plants.
