We recently had Bill Thoms as the featured speaker for our Alabama Orchid Society. Bill has 'just a few' FCC and merit awards for his dozens of hybrids (almost all with the name 'adorybil'. His 'star fish' method of growth is attributed to always having about a quarter inch of water in the saucers of his plants, fertilizing often, plenty of air flow, and more light (diffused) than most people think Bulbos should have.
