Well-established blooming size plants in 2.25" pots. We got our start growing Masdevallias and Draculas and after nearly 30 years this is still one of my favorites! The pictures tell a better story than I can!These are very compact plants, some people call them miniatures. Leaves are approx. 4-6 inches tall and the sturdy flower spikes are generally a couple of inches taller (tall enough to display the flowers nicely but not so tall as to be susceptible to breakage). The tricolor flowers are dark red on the sides, crystalline white toward the bottom and egg yolk yellow in the throat and tepals. Flowers are approx. 3-4 inches tall, tip to tip. Flowers 2 times a year, winter and summer.Like most Masdevallias, this species prefers cool-intermediate temps, moist and shady growing environment with plenty of air movement. They are particular about their growing conditions but if you have the right environment they grow really fast.

This is one of my favorite "weird" orchids! The growth habit is unusual in that it climbs, producing new pseudobulbs above the last mature pseudobulb on stiff, short rhizomes.
They appear to be monopodial (they're not, they also produce new growth at the base of the plant, but most of the new growth emerges at the top of the plant).
In addition to the weird growth habit, the flowers are bizarre! Many (30-50+) small, fragrant white flowers emerge from around the base of new pseudobulbs. It looks like they are exploding out of the plant, alien-style!
Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
