Finished an inventory of my orchids.

That's a very impressive list of species!!

Wow, great collection. What is your trick with the Bulbo's? I am in southwest Florida and never have any luck with the Bulbo's, they do great for a year or so and then wither away. I am thinking it it my water quality as during the rainy season I have nice collected rainwater but when it is dry I use tap water. I know I know I am a bad orchid dad but for now I cannot afford to use RO.

I think there a more than a few zygos that are feeling left out.........

@edub I use regular tap water on them. I don't think water quality is as important for tham as it would be for masdevallias and pleurothallis. I just grow all mine mounted on tree fern. Perhaps your bulbos are experiencing root rot if you grow them in pots with sphag of even orchid bark. Before I switched to mounting I did notice that my potted bulbos and even those in baskets were losing roots due to poor circulation in the medium and also the media deteriorates quickly in our humid environment.

Very nice list, Kevin! Plaese share how you grow this one:

19. Angraecum magdalenae

I've tried twice with no luck here in Miami, Fl. The first died after a poorly time repotting. The second one seemed to just hate the hot steamy summer and took 2 years to go end up.

I grow mine mounted on a stick. No moss.

A very likable list for sure. Bulbos galore!
