Thank you all! The bloom is impressive (for a a Masdie...). The NS is 5 cm and the bloom is 15 cm long. The color and the texture are very good too. I think it is a gorgeous clone. Even my boyfriend said this morning "Eh, one of your orchid looks different from the others!".
 
A nice serie of beautiful Masdies! Congratulations for their culture.
Do you use KLite fertilyser for these? I ask you this question because it seems to me that masdevallias don't like to much calcium.The stems of leaves have difficulties to go out of their shields (accordions).
 
Wow, that is nice.

I have a couple un-named clones of Peach Fuzz and absolutely love them, none are as nice as yours. Congrats!!!.

I like this hybrid, seems easier to grow in my basement light garden than many of my masdevallia. Really like this cross.
 
Thank you all!

Brabantia, I fertize with K-lite one week and rotate with other stuffs (Daniels, Agrogreen, etc.) for 2 or 3 other weeks.

Leo, I agree this grex is very vigorous. Actually I realize it is a heavy feeder too if I compare my all my other Masds.

What means "heavy feeder"? Would you please give details in ppm N, mg/L fertilyser or µS. Many thanks in advance.
 
In 2013 I was feeding it with every watering (2 to 3 times a week), at a 75 to 100 ppm N solution. I don't know what is the TDS content at that time. I used many different fertilizers at that time.... MSU rain, MSU for well water, Plant prod food for Orchids (30 -10 -10 ?), fish emulsion, Daniels... Most of my Masds are now grown in sphagnum moss and received a much lower dose of nutrients by now. (5 to 10 ppm N with each watering). The few plants that are in bark are fed with a 15 to 30 ppm N solution every watering. BTW, I always mix well water with "pure water" when preparing a nutrient solution. The pure water is from snow melting or dehumidifier tank.

Thanks Erythrone for these informations. This year I will feed at 25 ppm N (3/1/2 fertilyser low Ca and Mg like DynaGrow 9/3/6) at each watering. My plants are cultivated in Bark/sphagnum/ crushed redbrick (I cannot find big perlite) in terracotta pots.
We will see if my culture will be improved.
