Most people know this one. It has about half a dozen spikes this year but I missed all of them until now, only a few flower but gives you an idea of what this form looks like. I would love to see other peoples forms.  |

I have stayed away of the species with umbel inflorescences, although I do have Bulbo. roxburghii. However, I didn't realize that the flowers were that big on that species, nice colors too.
Regards,
Christer

This one is also very cool Justin! Again what temperatures does it like? What about light?

Christer, I too stray away from the umbel types now. When I first started growing orchids I bought whatever species I could get my hands on so I ended up with many of the umbel types, this past year I traded away most of them but kept a few of the better species like this one. Three flowers is very low for this species, Usually it's around 5-7 flowers and I've had 8. It reminds me very much of rothchildianum, another good umbel species.
Drew this species is a bullet proof weed once its up to size, flowering several times a year. It likes intermediate to warm temperatures and low to medium light as most Bulbo's do. Let me know if your interested in a piece sometime.

Hmm I may have to take you up on that... I have lots of Pinguicula to trade if you are interested. Im hoping to have a 15G turned into a small lowland/intermediate terrarium and according to orchidspecies this bulbo stays quite small with short spikes so should fit.
