Freddie - We are fortunte to have many large growers here in the US who import from all over the world, so that we seem to be able to get just about anything that is on the market. We also have a number of Asian growers who have made deals with American growers to be their US distribution reps, the one that comes to mind immediately is Jumbo Orchids from China who does lots of hybridizing with the Catasetinae alliance and has a distributor here in Florida, they are a five hour drive away from where I live but well worth the drive. As too growing instructions, I have never found that to be an issue. What I have done for years is to research the species natural habitat including altitude, temperature range, annual rainfall etc and try to duplicate the conditions as well as possible. It seems to work fine for me. But please feel free to post pictures of anything that you grow, it is always helpful.

in fact i do have a spare plant and am trying to get it to bloom, Thai Spiders seem rare in the west. The wonder of bulbophyllums seem to come alive during close up shots, always fascinating!
