I’m captivated by this legendary Masdevallia veitchiana with its bold colors. In mid-October, it opened a gorgeous flower. A few weeks later, it was followed by a second, and then a third! The oldest blossom has been damaged by the elements, but it’s still standing tall. Together, all three are putting on a great show in our backyard. And, there are three more flower buds emerging. You can rest assured that I’ll be blogging and bragging about this beauty as its show goes on.
