Masdevallia ariasii
A miniature masdevallia of exquisite beauty. Fully mature in a 2" pot, it produces these lovely white flowers. Prefers it on the cool side with moderate light. .
In 2" pots FS .. $30
Masdevallia bicornis
a.k.a. Portilla popowiana

Look at this beauty! Very new in cultivation. At first thought to be a dracula or a masdevallia and rather looks like a cross between the two. However, masdevallia progeny usually produce upright spikes and this guy's spikes go laterally or downward like draculas. Most taxonimists say it is different enough to be in its own genus. However, it has now been deternined that it is, in fact, a masdevallia. Grows in dracula conditions, i.e. cool with moderate light.
FS in baskets .... $55
Masdevallia caesia
The grande dame of masdevallias. Probably the largest flower in this genus. Let its beauty draw your eye and not your nose. Although there's no odor admiring or standing next to it, if you put your nose into the flower, well..............! Much of its attractiveness is its steel blue, grey leaves that can reach two feet in length. These plants hang upside-down. Grows cool with moderate light.
