    Only now, after its first bloom, I am realizing that this species would look better mounted. However, repotting season for Masdevallias is almost at the end (it is getting warmer here). My be next year. Masd jarae 01.jpg

    I have seen that photo of your plant Alfonso, searching Internet for images of Masd. jarae. It was a great specimen! Sorry to hear that it was lost. On the other hand - having mother's basic care about your collection is much better then ...

    Thanks! It was a shame it was lost, but I would have lost many plants if I didn't have my mom to water them when I was not able to take care for them!! Beautiful species! Good luck with your plant :)

    Hi Alfonso,

    Just a tip my grandfather (Enrique Jara = "jarae" he discover over 32 species) always talk and even sign to them, he believe they were alive and if you treat them with love plants can stand even the hardest conditions. I used to think that it was funny talking or singing to plants; however, it help me keep flowers for almost 8 months when they should say only 2.

    I hope you enjoy the tip and that my grandpa's advice can be useful for others.

    Best regards,

    Liz Herrera Jara
