Masdevallia Swallow
|
Masdevallia Swallow
is a hybrid between Masd. Falcata and
Masd. infracta. The plant was a gift from the Maryland Orchid
Society when our Encyclia mariae was
picked as the judge’s choice in June of this year. While Masd
infracta is a warm growing species, the other parent, Masd. Falcata, is a hybrid between the two cold growing species Masd. coccinea and Masd. veitchiana.

Arne has been quite lucky with this orchid. This cool loving orchid seems to be producing flower stems since coming into our home. A very interesting looking flower too.
