Masdevallia floribunda – 365 days of orchids – day 1385
No apologies for another Masdevallia this morning (the fourth in a row), these rewarding orchids are a real key feature of our collection.
Masdevallia floribunda is a wonderful little species that produces masses of relatively large flowers every autumn.
The species is native to wet forests from Mexico to Costa Rica and the Caribbean from 500m to 1400m altitude making it more warmth tolerant than many of the high cloud forest species.
We find that the plant is easy to grow and flower in pots, baskets or mounted as our specimen shown in the photos.
We have young plants in bud for sale online.
