Name: Masdevallia empusa Luer
Synonyme:
Etymologie: empusa stammt aus der griechischen Mythologie (Empusa = ein schreckengestaltiges Gespenst oder Ungeheuer im Gefolge der Hekate). Der Name bezieht sich auf das bizarre, fast unheimliche und extravagante Aussehen der Blüte.
Vermehrung: Aus Samen;
Erstbeschreibung: 1978 von Carlyle August Luer in „Phytologia“.
Herkunft / Verbreitung:
Ecuador und Peru (Anden-Osthänge).
Standort / Habitat:
Epiphytisch wachsend in kühlen, extrem feuchten Bergnebelwäldern in Höhenlagen von ca. 1100 bis 1800 m. Sie bevorzugt schattige Plätze im Unterholz mit ganzjährig sehr hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit.
Beschreibung & Anmerkungen:
Masdevallia empusa gehört zur Sektion Alaticaules und ist eine kompakt wachsende, horstbildende Miniatur-Orchidee ohne Pseudobulben. Sie besitzt aufrechte, ledrige, länglich-elliptische Blätter. Der Blütenstand ist aufrecht, im Querschnitt dreieckig und bringt nacheinander (sukzessive) sehr markante Blüten hervor. Die Blüten weisen eine kurze Kelchröhre auf, die sich in weit abspreizende, schmale Sepalen öffnet. Diese sind gelblich bis grünlich-weiß gefärbt, oft intensiv purpurn oder braun-rot gepunktet bzw. überhaucht, und laufen in lange, fadenförmige, starre gelbe Schwänze aus, was ihr das namensgebende, bizarre Aussehen verleiht.

In der Kultur benötigt diese Art intermediäre bis kühle Bedingungen. Aufgrund ihres Verbreitungsgebietes bis in mittlere Höhenlagen toleriert sie moderate Warmphasen im Sommer etwas besser als reine Hochland-Masdevallien, reagiert aber dennoch empfindlich auf extreme Stauhitze. Ein schattiger Standort, eine konstant hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit (über 75 %) und eine stetige, sanfte Luftzirkulation sind Pflicht. Das Substrat (feine Rinde oder Sphagnum-Moos) darf nie vollständig austrocknen, muss aber perfekt dränieren, um Wurzelfäulnis zu verhindern. Zur Bewässerung sollte salzarmes, kalkfreies Wasser verwendet werden.

zelda‘s “indoor” ⚽️ ball!
Color: Squeaky Green, Size: Medium Size 2 (6")
zelda loves her soccer ball - because of the fabric “tabs”, and the way she treats her toys, we keep it inside. she loves to place all of her toys and bones on our bed, after they’ve been cleaned. this ball is perfect and soft enough to throw it down our steps, where she will run down, retrieve it, and bring it back to the bed. it arrives deflated and comes with the pump and two needles - the pump is not the sturdiest and felt like it was not inflating, but after only having to reflate it once with a bit of air since receiving it ~5-6 months ago, it still holds up!

Small for a medium
Color: Red-Blue, Size: Medium Size 2 (6"), Color: Red-Blue, Size: Medium Size 2 (6")
I got medium.. and it does not look like a medium ball.. it’s rather small. It’s pretty sturdy and my dogs went crazy for it but it’s definitely not the size I thought it was going to be 😂 my dogs chewed one strap within 5 minutes of having it but they’re dogs and that’s what they do lol. I bought this to be an outside ball for them! It’s pretty light but that’s probably because it’s small. Not soft? But feels like a soccer ball. It also had no smell coming out of the box. Also comes with a pump and an extra thing to put in the ball to pump in case you lose one. I like these balls, I expect them to be chewed up because that’s what I bought them for! Fun for my dogs and they are! But the size… it is not medium and that’s the only reason for 3 stars 😂😂😂 Other then that I recommend, your dog will definitely love this! Inside or outside playing! Alone or with another dog!

Great toy for a GSD
Color: Blue Gray, Size: Extra Large Size 5 (9")
My GSD loves to grab the flaps and shake her head with the ball bouncing of the side of her head. This is her favorite toy. I thought she would puncture it but it has held up great since she likes to grab the flaps rather than biting the ball.

Great toy to play fetch with the dogs.
Color: Black/White, Size: Large
These balls are a great dog toy to play fetch with your dogs. This not the first ball I have gotten for the dogs. Just the right size and weight for medium sized dogs. I have less concerns about them possibly choking on these soccer balls versus tennis balls. So I can leave them out for them to play with. The are easy to inflate using the included pump. My only concern is the durability of the straps as my dogs have almost torn off one the straps of the previous ball I purchased.

A must have for my pup! I have bought this at least 5 times. She eventually pops them and I need a new one. It's an amazing toy that she can thrash and we can play fetch with
