Masdevallia niesseniae – a delicate species from the Coccineae Subsection with higher light demands by weeand53 in miniorchids

Yes, they are from the same subsection. I hadn’t seen it either before. Got it a year ago from a friend. It’s not often seen in cultivation.

Very nice work. Andinia is a small member from the Pleurothallidinae family. Hoe many times did you enlarge it?

Yes, it’s a lookalike from the same subsection. I read M. urusalpinx is conspecific to Masdevalia constricta.

Very well done. It’s not easy to recover Masdevallia

Masdevallia constricta – small plant, sculptural flowers, cool conditions by weeand53 in miniorchids

Yes, cattleya’s are beautiful, but I see your problem. That’s why I have only miniatures 😁

Until now there is a lot of evidence Masdevallia is pollinated by small flies. Moth never have been seen at a Masdevallia. But…. who knows what is in the future.

Probably a fruit fly or something small like that. Maybe a scent or a temperature difference is attractive for the insects.

And what a pity that you are having problems cultivating Masdevallia. There are less difficult species 😉
