RHH's photos with the keyword: redwing

It's been quite some time since I posted a picture of one of my own orchids, so here's an orchid that bloomed recently. Masdevallia Redwing is a hybrid of two species, Masdevallia coccinea and Masdevallia infracta, a cool-growing with a warmth-tolerant species with some of the best features of both. It has far more temperature tolerance than Masdevallia coccinea and has far more colorful and larger flowers than Masdevallia infracta. There is considerable color variation in the cross, since the Masdevallia coccinea parent ranges in color from white to red through every shade of yellow, orange and pink. Examples of the two parents are shown below, though I am quite certain that a differently colored Masdevallia coccinea was used to produce this cross.
