Masdevallia triangularis - Mounted Orchid


Masdevallia triangularis in bloom, in the terrarium.  Much more high maintenance than anticipated than the Masdevallia rechingeria that you can see to its right, and I'm suspecting this has to do with the wooden board onto which it is mounted.  The specimen on the right however is mounted on cork and that seems to help the plant stay moist.  The triangularis bloomed for about a month before it finally wilted, or shall I say "dried out".  It needs daily misting.  I acquired this one recently at the 
San Francisco Orchid Expo.
