How did you manage to kill it? For me, this is one of the easiest orchids to grow and my conditions are horrible. It's so easy that I've been consistently using divisions of it as a test plant to look for ideal growing areas. Once I can learn to ship live products, I can send you a division or two. I saw the mother plants at Andy's in enormous 14 inch baskets and hung right at the top of their warm greenhouse. The clumps were covered in blooms. I really don't see why this one isn't as popular as other bulbos. It really deserves a spot in every collection (or multiple spots in my case).

Thanks for the offer. I am afraid of it though. I had it in bark mix and soon found I was keeping it too dry. So I added a layer of sphag on top. After that it was down-hill. Maybe I'm just dense when it comes to this species.
I would love to get one to bloom, it sure would get me my Bulbo and Masdie fix in one shot.
