Beautiful, I just got one and I'm going to mount it. They grow all over in a pot real quick, I'm told. Hope mine will do as well. Might have to pm you guys if I run into trouble.

I don't know if it is just me. But they are really easy to grow. I am just got my a few months ago. And thought i would kill it. I have a few other orchids. But that by far is my favorite. For now till i get a Dutch Shoe orchid.

I have a B. frostii and it is a very slow grower so far for me. It did flower this year for me but that's about all....

WOW, I can't wait for my newly purchased bulbo frostii to bloom! What beautiful flowers you have!

Before I kill mine, what care are you giving yours. I see it's a bit cooler there. Thanks

Carol, I will assume you are referencing my frostii. You are in a great location for almost any Bulbophyllum, i.e., hot and humid. Just be careful of the sun. I have read some people to grow these in more light but most cultural notes say indirect light or light shade, etc. I grow mine hanging at the top of my greenhouse because in the winter that is the warmest location with the most light and most importantly, I have no where else to put them! I grow in bark because I kill almost everything planted in moss. I have found that you have to be especially careful with watering when new growth is starting... can't tell you how many young pseudo bulbs have died at the hands of my watering!!!! You'd think I'd learn after the first few.... :roll:
