Masdevallia maculata 'Dark Red' x self ('Dark Red')

This species Masdevallia first bloomed with a
a single flower on it some time ago and
I wondered if it was reluctant to flower or if
my growing conditions weren't good enough
for it.

After a few months when that first flower was
long gone I was pleasantly surprised to
find numerous buds which shortly thereafter
opened into small but very attractive
blooms that remind me of the flowering
habitat of another species-
Masdevallia angulata.

As is often the case with this blog,
clicking on the photos will take you
to much bigger sized versions of the
particular photo you clicked on.
