Watercolor III

I felt really stressed these past couple of days because it's three weeks until AP exams and one week until the May SAT, and I needed to de-stress myself.  My solution...watercolor my orchids.  So here's Friday night's work:

It's a masdevallia charisma.  I personally do not grow it in my collection. I feel masdevallia's are a pain to grow because they like humid and cool conditions.  Unless I have a terrarium, I stray away from masdevallias.  But, masdevallia charisma is my favorite of the masdevallias.
