Grow this one at south window with shades, night time is about 15C. Very nice flowers, really love it.

Too bad those don't grow well in the heat of Florida....well usually it's warm. Right now I could grow those on the front porch....lol....brrrrrr. I know I know....it's only in the 60's during the daytime, but for a newly replanted Floridiot that's downright chilly!! lol
You have one cool plant!

gorgeous! I have a couple masd.'s but they aren't very happy here due to the heat. (wait, it's a blizzard outside, they SHOULD be happy! ....)

LOL Connie!! Floridiot, that's hilarious...

Beautiful blooms, so striking!!! I can't grow these either...my first (and only) one I ever had looked at me and died right on the spot

There are quite a few Masdies that don't require really cool conditions, but (and it's a big but) virtually all of the really showy species do need the cool conditions. There is hope with the hybridizing going on, but for me, Masdies are a lost cause because I always let them get way too dry between waterings.
