Masdevallia (heathii ‘Unicorn’ × welischii ‘Rip-Hoff’) ‘Unihoff’

Masdevallia (heathii 'Unicorn' × welischii 'Rip-Hoff') 'Unihoff' is a selected clone from this unregistered cross between two named cultivars. Masdevallia Heathii (M. ignea × M. veitchiana) 'Unicorn' contributes the bold orange tones and scale of the veitchiana line. M. welischii 'Rip-Hoff', a Colombian species notable for its long, swept tails, contributes elegance of form and a pronounced tail extension. 'Unihoff' was selected for its vivid, symmetrical flower and clean proportional balance between body width and tail length.
