One of the first bulbos that I ever bought on a trip to Krull Smith, 3 years ago...It has been a consistent bloomer. I do very little with this guy, he has been in the same strawberry basket with staylite gravel since I purchased it!

What a beautiful color! I'm gaining a new appreciation for these. Maybe one will end up going for a trial run in my collection before long.

Very cool, Laura! I LOVE the little antenna atop each bloom's baseball cap.

Really cute!!

That's a great looking Bulbo. Laura, what's staylite gravel and where do I get it?

And also, is the strawberry basket you're talking of, the same as the plastic ones you buy strawberries in at the markets? I never thought of using those for the bulbo's but what a great idea! I have a dentiferum on it's way to me so I'm going to go get some strawberries tomorrow!

Staylite is granite that is heated until it explodes into little pieces, pretty much small grey chunks... I get it from an orchid supplier that comes to local orchid shows...I know that they originally get it from North Carolina...

and Thanks Tom!
