    Here are pics of one of my favorite Masdies: Masdevallia strobelii!

    It is fairly tolerant of my warmish conditions (up to 85 degrees) and blooms heavily each year.

    Notice the glistening glands in the flower!

    I love it, looks like it should be growing on a coral reef somewhere.

    Yes, it is scented. A bit hard to describe the scent though....
