Masdevallia Elven Magic
|
Masdevallia Elven
Magic is a primary hybrid between Masd.
davisii and Masd. infracta. The plant was given to us as a reward by the
Maryland Orchid Society when our Paphiopedilum
philippinense became the judges’ choice in May this year. The genus Masdevallia
is comprised of species that like cold or cool conditions and high relative
humidity. Most people cannot provide
such conditions all year round and Masdevallia
has therefore gotten the reputation of being a genus for specialists. Luckily some species are more tolerant of
warmer conditions and one of parents to Elven Magic, Masd. infracta, is one of those warmer growing species. Well, we still have doubts about growing Masdevallia. Time will tell.
