It’s Easy to Love Masdevallia Orchids
It’s no wonder why we love Masdevallia orchids. These two stunning examples are now in bloom on our patio, with their big, neon flowers atop tall stems, bobbing in the breeze. Thanks to Dave’s great photography, it’s easy to enjoy their charms.
Believe it or not, both of these plants are the same species, Masdevallia coccinea. Native to high elevations in Colombia and Peru, they occur in many brilliant color varieties. No matter the hue, they need cool, moist breezes and frequent waterings. These orchids love living outside our foggy home on the Northern California coast. And we certainly love having them here.
