{"product_id":"masdevallia-polysticta-john","title":"Masdevallia polysticta 'John'","description":"\u003cp\u003eMasdevallia polysticta 'John' is a selected clone of this distinctive cool-growing species, notable for one of the more unusual traits in the genus — multi-flowered racemes that carry several blooms simultaneously on a single arching stem. Where most Masdevallia produce flowers singly, polysticta puts on a genuine display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers of 'John' are white to cream, heavily scattered with magenta-purple spots and dashes across the sepals, with a prominent red column at the centre and characteristic yellow-green tails. The effect in full flower is lively and eye-catching — a compact plant that consistently punches above its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA genuinely unusual species for the collector who already knows the classics and is looking for something with real botanical interest.
