Masdevallia John Tomaschke 'Deep Purple' no Award open sepal form and theMasdevallia John Tomaschke 'Deep Purple' is a selected clone of this hybrid between Masdevallia Heathii (M. ignea M. veitchiana) and Masdevallia discoidea, registered by G.

'Deep Purple' is a sibling to our own 'Lou Reed' clone,
