Gene,

Masdevallia Redwing can bloom at any time. The M. infracta parent brings a
measure of warmth tolerance, but the plant is still going to be unhappy if
nights are consistently above 60. The fact that yours has grown many new
leaves means the nights aren't TOO hot, but they still might be too warm for
good blooming. With Masdevallias, night temperatures are more important that
day temps. Cool nights allow the plant to recover and recharge for the next
warm day.

Try putting it outside in the fall - it can take temps down to 48 with no
ill effect. That might produce a nice flush of blooms for you.

Good luck!

Ok....I'll admit I'm very impatient! Last October I bought a Masd.
Redwing. This is the first and only Masdevallia I've tried to grow. Even
though the vendor had some smaller ones in bloom I took the largest plant
he had. (First clue the siblings were blooming in October last year)
