Masdevallias, though often thought to be difficult, are definitely one of the most beautiful of all orchids. We have chosen to propagate only those varieties that are well known to be vigorous, and, as in the case of Masd. coccinea and Masd. veitchiana, the most spectacular of all Masdevallias.

The conditions for most Masdevallias should be shady, moist and as cool as possible. We find they do best for us out of doors in Southern California, although there are a few here (notably Copper Angel) that will do nicely as windowsill plants indoors. Abundant clean (drinking) water is always appreciated. All plants are nice large flowering size plants..

We offer Masdevallias of two distinct groups:

hybrids (this page)
coccinea
