List of bulbos and their respective spikes vs growths

[DMT]

I picked this Bulb. Biflorum up at Hilo Orchid Show in June 2016. In flower when bought, lasted couple of weeks now a new spike has emerged last week.

THANKYOU FOR THE INFO!!

This is my Bulbo. Biflorum bought it in bloom. This one has bloomed three times from three different spikes but from the same pseudobulb. The current bloom is the first from this pseudobulb, wait to see if I get multiple spikes. Will post a pic once the flower is fully open.

You don't mention your growing conditions. See my post on 'Bulbophyllum weekend overload'. Some would argue that Bill Thoms is the number 1 world renowned expert on Bulbophyllums. You can check out his videos. In one of them he states that low light will promote growth, but to bloom, you need bright light, albeit indirect. In the video, he shows how even in his greenhouse, the location of his Bulbophyllums cast distinct shadows, because of the amount brightness. His book goes on to detail methods of feeding, and the quanities of water they require. Hope this helps.

The videos I've seen were on facebook. I'm sure he's posted them elsewhere. His book reveals all his secrets on how he has won more CCMs than anyone else in the world.
