Masdevallia Peppermint Rock x ignea blooms

I found it open its flower today. Sadly second bud did blast. I am not sure if the top of the bloom will open more.
So here it is - Masdevallia Peppermint Rock x ignea - my second masdie to bloom.

Mystery masdie spiking

I got Masdevallia Peppermint Rock x ignea fromEcuagenera as freebe and could not find any picture of this cross' bloom. So it is sort of a mystery plant for me. Now the mystery might get resolved, because I think it is spiking:



Maybe here it is better to see with white background:



This is second masdie to bloom for me, I think masdevallia genera is really making its way into my collection. At least I will be looking through Ecuagenera website when October comes - time to pre-order stuff for Montreal show.

Masdevallia Prince Charming

I pre-ordered Masd. Prince Charming from Ecuagenera. When picking it up from the show in March I was disappointed with the look of the foliage. It had ugly purple and yellow patches all over:



I wanted to just leave it and walk away, but representative said that it is a good strong plant and patches are from the sun exposure. He also said that if masdie dies, he will bring me the new one to the next show for free, so I took it.
I think he was right. Plant had nice roots and now produced two new growth:



I still don't like those yellow and purple patches on the leaves, but at least the new growth should be nice and green.
