Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: I grow this cool-intermediate to intermediate with fairly good humidity under fluorescent lights, and it appears to be willing to bloom readily.
 
Comments: Parent plant: Miniature. This was purchased as Masdevallia brachyura but the description in the literature says that brachyura has has a few-flowered, congested inflorescence with flowers that open in succession and are held below the leaves, but mine (from J&L) has single flowers held just above the top of the leaves, so perhaps this is misidentified.
