{"product_id":"masdevallia-twinky-apricot","title":"Masdevallia Twinky 'Apricot'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMasdevallia Twinky 'Apricot'\u003c\/strong\u003e is a primary hybrid between \u003cem\u003eM. coccinea\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eM. citrinella\u003c\/em\u003e, registered by M. Turkel in 1992. As a direct cross of two species, Twinky sits close to the wild — the \u003cem\u003ecoccinea\u003c\/em\u003e influence dominates the flower form, producing broad, rounded laterals fused into a cupped sepal body, while \u003cem\u003ecitrinella\u003c\/em\u003e, a small-flowered Ecuadorian species from subsection Oscillantes, contributes the distinctive yellow tail tips that set Twinky apart from the typical \u003cem\u003ecoccinea\u003c\/em\u003e colour forms. 'Apricot' has been selected for its warm apricot-salmon ground colour and clean tail expression. This is a division of that selected clone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single flowers on erect spikes held clear of the foliage.

Fine papillate surface texture gives a soft, matte finish. All three tails clearly expressed: the dorsal long and upswept, the laterals shorter and curving outward; all tipped in clean yellow-gold — the direct signature of the \u003cem\u003ecitrinella\u003c\/em\u003e parentage, and a genuine point of difference from pure \u003cem\u003ecoccinea\u003c\/em\u003e clones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact Masdevallia habit, typical of the \u003cem\u003ecoccinea\u003c\/em\u003e alliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool to cold.
