Pairs well with
Masdevallia Deimos is a primary hybrid registered by T. Hill in 1989, a cross of two genuinely miniature species, Masdevallia barlaeana × M. nidifica. M. barlaeana contributes a coral-red, triangular flower on a compact clumping plant from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. M. nidifica, one of the smallest species in the genus, adds its long, fine tails and pale, red-marked colouring. The result is a true miniature and a floriferous little hybrid.
About this plant
