    Default Mediocalcar decoratum

    Another mini currently in bloom for the second time this year. Prior to the flowers opening they look like candy corn. I received a small piece of a variegated one in trade this year. I am looking forward to it eventually blooming.

    How much light do they want, Ron? I have a division that's healthy enough, but it's in my terrarium, and I suspect it wants more light than it's getting (hasn't bloomed in a year.)

    I estimate I am growing at about 2500-3000 fc. I received a small division of variegated-leafed one this year. Mine blooms 2X per year.
