I was going to ask if he separated the stinkers from the non-stinkers! I don't have any Bulbos yet, but I'm keeping them in mind for when I can expand my collection.

It looks like a great book! And humor is always good!

I've been considering this book for a little while. I will have to get it for sure now.

Thanks for this info.
Here in Malaysia is a great place to easily grow Bulbos. And for some reason fanciers of species orchids here prefer Bulbos before anything else. They'll even buy my hybrid Bulbophyllums to complement their species collection! I'll look out for the book.

Oh Tin, this is the one and only book so far that I have been crazy about!!! In the past I've posted my opinion about books that I have but none of them have EVER taught me what this one has and I had a great time reading it

You absolutely MUST get one!

I went to my first Orchid Society meeting tonight and guess who was the guest speaker? Yes, Bill Thoms. He had bulbos for sale, as well as his book! He was very funny and made the topic quite interesting!

I like him as a speaker, the book is great. He seems like a very nice guy.
