masdevallia nidifica...

majority of the spikes have opened up, thought they'd be cool enough to share...

I just got a Masdevallia i hope itll look as good as yours !

@cthulhu, mluk: thanks a bunch. actually this was quite a surprise for me as well. i've had this plant for two years. initially when i got it, it tried to flower, sending a spike or two, but those aborted---then the plant decided to abandon flowering altogether. so this plant spent two years on my hanging rack, growing, looking happy but no flowers. it wasnt recently where i took a division of this plant to give to a friend, where the plant all of the sudden decided to flower, sending 20+ spikes all at once.

Wow it's looking great!

How often do you spray the plants on your hanging rack? Do you ever soak/float them in water?

 

[amphirion]

@swords: this might make your heart skip a beat, but....my growing rack makes a daily trip to the shower....

 

[mluk27]

I really hope it doesnt take 2 years for mine to bloom! but looks like you did something right because its flowering like crazy!!
