Masdie Question

[Daethen]

I bought a Masdie Hampshire Prolific in the beginning of Feb. It was in low spike and has since grown many more. It's third flower opened today and I noticed that the first bloom spike (flower still intact) has branched and is getting a second bloom on it. I know very little about Masdies. Is this a sequential bloomer? Is this normal? If yes to both of those it may be my new favorite.

Hampshire Prolific is a sequential. It gets that nice habit from the floribunda parent. Love my HP and my floribunda! Great plants!

[Daethen]

Thanks, Kat!! I didn't like Masdies at first, but they are "growing" on me fast. Might just have to get a few more. Floribunda you say....hmmmm. Love the sequentials!!!

[katrina]

Yep...floribunda. Another great seqential...if you like tall spikes...is impostor.

Oh and floribunda x impostor is an awesome little plant...sequential AND it's almost always in bloom. The f x i doesn't have tall spikes.

Of course, they're only great if you like masdies that bloom alot.

[Daethen]

Thanks for the tip. Does f x i have a separate name?

[katrina]

What do you know...it sure does. I just looked it up on OW and it appears that the cross is registered.
Masd Magic Wand

[Daethen]

Awesome, thanks for doing the research. Will be on the lookout for that one.

And another one bites the dust

There are many many sequential bloomers, species and hybrids. Let me know if you want the names of the ones I have here. I really love them and also the ones that have multiple blooms open at the same time on the same spike.

Congrats - another masdie lover has been born

You are so right, Brooke. I have seen the Masdie light!!! Yes, I would love to have the names of both sequential and multi bloomers. I love the show this one is putting on. I will take some pics today and show you all what I am enjoying!

[Daethen]

Here are some pics of my Prolific. First what she looked like when I got her.



These I took today. If you look close you can see the spike that is producing a second bloom.







And notice she is just getting started. Quickly becoming a favorite.

OMG!!!!! Congrats!!!!!
I can't make mine to bloom.....
What is your secret?
BTW, do you still want the salmon color Zygo cactus? It rooted already....

[Daethen]

Yes, I would still love the Zygo. I don't know what it is I am doing. I don't really know much about them. I keep it with wet feet and fairly high light. Weekly/weakly with worm tea. It is 70-75 day and 62 + at night. My humidity is fairly low through the winter. Maybe it just likes me.

Here ya' go - enjoy your new shopping!

Masd. lehmanni - multiple blooms per spike
geminiflora - multiple blooms
tovarensis - sequential
pinochio - sequential
infracta - sequential
Measuriana - sequential
Anochecer - sequential
Lucky Stripe - sequential
amplexa - sequential
Marguerite - sequential
ayabacana - sequential
princeps - sequential
bicolor - multiple
Red Wing - sequential
polysticta - multiple

Masd. pteroglossa gets multiple spikes per leaf instead of one growth, one spike.

GEEEEEEEZ Brooke! I'm trying to downsize my masdies and you go and post a bunch of sequentials...many of which I do not own. It's mean I tell you...just mean.

Soooo need pteroglossa!

[Daethen]

Thanks, Kat. Now if my pocket book will cooperate!!!

[koshki]

Dang! I don't know how I missed this thread, but dang, Brooke! I've only got three of those sequentials! Where do I find the room?????
